Old Marine Posted October 14, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2009 Here is another model from my collection. This is just the basic Italieri Jeep Ambulance kit with some modified figures. This model is marked to the 442nd RCT while it was attached to the 34th Infantry Division in Italy. The jeep is sitting on a battle dressing. Thanks for all your nice comments and encouragement.

SGM (ret.) Posted October 14, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 14, 2009 Dennis, Again, I have to just say how much I admire your work with the figures. (The vehicles are pretty darned nice too!) Lotsa conversion work there. I don't know how I missed all your earlier posts, but I've just spent the better part of an hour just looking at them. Great job all the way around. Please post some work in progress pics on what ever your next project is. I'd especially like to see some of your figgy conversions. You seem to have a nack for for getting the poses just right and fitting them to each other and the vehicles. I suspect a lot of trial and error and back and forth fitting, but would love to see how you do it. Do you have a method tht allows for some re-posing and minor movement before you fix the final pose? I'm always looking for the next technique to try. Thanks again for sharing, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted October 14, 2009 Hi Mike, I'll do my best to try and post some pictures tomorrow. You are right it's just a lot of trial and error. In some of the more tough poses I actually cut the figure at the joint knee, elbow or wrist and reposition the limb. I use a fine brass rod and a pin vise to peg the pieces together and reposition them. A picture is worth a thousand words.....I'll get some photos for you.

The Meatcan Posted October 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 14, 2009 Dennis, see my post on your M-18! ditto that :thumbsup: great idea to use the bandage tin for a base - love it! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted October 15, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 15, 2009 Excellent model! It looks so realistic! This my one of my favorites of your models. Your modelling skills are amazing. Has your work ever been featured in Fine Scale Modeller? ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb44 Posted October 15, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 15, 2009 Nice work and a great base for the display, but why is the driver feeling for a gearshift with the wrong arm? Anyone driving a Jeep would have the right arm not on the wheel if resting one. The driver figure looks like he’s trying to shift gears on the wrong side.

Coffeecup Posted February 19, 2010 Share #16 Posted February 19, 2010 I'm not much into modeling, but I keep coming back to this one. Great job on the jeep and figures, but to be honest I really like the use of the dressing for the base. I've made tons of plaques and bases for models and dioramas (used to be a cabinetmaker, still run a part-time shop), but this is probably the most appropriate base for a model I've seen. Great job!
