Fantastic build!

worked on the camo netting

Wow, that seems like a lot of effort for something like this If you had taken a bit of gauze, like from a roll of bandage material, soaked it in thinned PVA glue, rolled it up, added straps and put it into position, then glued some flocking to it, you would have had much the same result for much simpler work

 

[BarleyBop]

much simpler work

...yup, been there, done that. Will do again. Changing it up is fun too.

 

[BarleyBop]

Fantastic build!

Thanks Gary, glad you like it. The CMPs are interesting vehicles to build, tough and quirky!

Lenses on headlights, accessories, stowage and flag.
Next up, a good dust up!

Thanks for the comments and the encouragement.
Those CMPs have so much personality, done two now, more variants in the stash.

All the effort you put into this project really shows up in the end. It looks great.

That's a cracking build that is - very nicely done!

 

[Jakko]

That came out really well — good job!

 

[BarleyBop]

a cracking build

Thanks Rimmer! And happy to see you have that light utility car in your stash: it is a fun build, anxious to see where you take it...

That came out

Thank you Jakko, and well said: going in you never really know how it will come out, so a nice feeling when it's not half bad!

Well I need two really - I'd like to build one as per the box art but the one I picked up the other day I'm going to build for my daughter, as she saw one once in a museum and loves them - it's her dream car. So it'll probably be painted a pale blue colour and I might see if I can do some other stuff to make it more civilian.

Postscript: the gang's (almost) all here...

Not the first princess to love them!

All North African Italian subjects? Very cool.

It's a great subject the war in North Africa, it's something I'd like to read up more on. I had two Great Uncles that served in North Africa, one in the Royal Artillery and one possibly in the SAS, and by that I mean I know he was in the SAS in France, I'm just not sure if he was when he was in North Africa. I'd like to think he was, charging around the desert in a Jeep.

LOL! That's really cool - I'll have to show her that photo, she loved the late Queen.
