And now, with my newly restored eyeballs following a double cataract op entailing two months off painting; followed by various experiments with expensive custom milled modelling specs (£250 - completely useless) and cheap optical devices (optivisor - £25, brilliant) to get me back in the saddle, I have now finished said Rubicon 15 Cwt. Canadian Military Pattern truck.
 
Very nice model, quite easy to put together - but blinking fiddly to paint with all those nooks and crannies.
The fellow with the Thompson is concocted from a 1/56 Rubicon body, 1/56 Perry arms and a Tamiya 1/48 head - doesn't look too top heavy though  :)
The stowage is from Rubicon with a couple of Perry bits.









And a couple of 'en scene' shots...  :)

Marvelous. Out of interest what base colour are you using for 'Portland Stone'.
Glad the Optivisor is working out too.

Heh, of course it is :-)
Along with Russian Uniform and Black Brown, this colour probabaly accounts for 30% of all paint I've applied to figures in the last decade.

Ah, now that's interesting. I'm a big fan of Russian Uniform, but I've never come across Black Brown. I shall look out for it...  :)

My God, that's lovely!  I see you've taken down the wear and tear a notch. The other vehicles look good to, but I think you are on the way to sublime perfection with this one. (Am I gushing?)
