wingnut Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Working on the Matchbox 1/76 LRDG diorama set. the build nearly didn't happen, as the decals were missing. Thankfully, one of the Britmodeller members donated a set. Finished this Jeep last night, great fun, but going crosseyed working at such a small scale.. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulj Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi, That's looking fantastic, great build. Impressive just how much detail Matchbox managed to get in to such a small model, and particularly when they design their kits to be very easy to construct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 A pair of beauts! I am impressed by the amount of detail too, in a scale which is just too small for my decrepit digits and ocular organs to contemplate! Looking forward to seeing the diorama.
