Close up view of the driver and his mate. All decals and figures are from the box.

This is the Tamiya 1/35 Ford GPA amphibian "Jeep". It was built pretty much straight from the box, with no modifications. I placed this on a plywood base covered in coloured plaster with "boulders" placed into the wet plaster. The dog is from the Tamiya Farmyard animals set.


Side view, showing rocks,base and layout of figures and vehicle.

The base's dusty look is created by sprinkling fine sand over the plaster when it is wet. This creates the perfect "beachlook" setting, which is right at home for the GPA. If you look at some of the close-up pictures, you will an understanding of the washes and dry-brushing which you would have read about before.

Front view, again showing base design, a better view of the GPA front, driver and his buddy.
