And for my next trick...
The Loyd Carrier. This is the Rubicon resin model with some stowage pimping by me. Beautiful little model overall - even though the metal bits weren't all a great fit.
I wasn't that familiar with this vehicle - everyone knows the ubiquitous 'Bren Gun carrier' or universal carrier. But apparently, 26,000 Loyd Carriers were manufactured and put into service between 1939 - 1945. Surprising eh?

Think I've painted this one fairly faithfully - although the road wheels should actually have narrow hard rubber tyres. But really, there was no dividing line between wheel rim and tyre on the model, so I would have had to paint them on, and honestly, life its too short.

Also just noticed I completely missed painting the instrument panel - oh well

(no-one's going to look inside anyway
