That is Fahrenheid, I guess. 30 Celsius is not really freezing

What did the other eye?

Cool stretchers & fine brass-work, looks perfect. How did you make the paper not look like paper?

Please do post a picture when you do so?

You could also use this one (I have been using it to great satisfaction, since my Mk1's are deteriorating, and normal glasses are not strong enough): https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32921492145.html?gps-id=detail404&scm=1007.16891.96945.0&scm_id=1007.16891.96945.0&scm-url=1007.16891.96945.0&pvid=350ae217-d683-45d9-b18e-046d615a6c35

Turned out great...
Only one very minor detail: the straps for the hood (rear) needs their central part also painted brown. Now you left them aluminium?

Wow fantastic work I really like how busy & used those jeeps look, as well as the tangled undergrowth – maybe the sesame bush front-port-side of the tank is a tad too emeraldy? Just a dusting of khaki-ish pastel powder might probably turn it down enough. How’s the figure search going? Those Aussies you showed on p1 sure would be perfect…one word: crowdfunding

Me too, love the dinged mudguard & the other metal/scratchwork too - hey I’ll trade you some C-channel right now for any 292 Angle you got – 261 (.060”), 262 (.080”) & 263 (.1”) in stock although snail-ish delivery highly likely for the next few weeks…

Off to the body shop fer paint .
I used a piece of copy paper for the tarp , 28 gauge wire to make the gnat sized tarp grommets and I believe 32 gauge twisted together wire for the rope .
