M-25 DRAGON WAGON /LCVP Transporter/

[jools_jl]

It's been a long time since my last visit here so I'd like to present to you all one of my work from last year.
Tamiya's great M-25 Dragon Wagon built ootb and Italeri LCVP with some scratch.
These two very good kits gave me a lot of satisfaction

Awesome. The only thing that looks out of place is the wood blocks. The grain looks way to large for 1/35th. Other than that this combo is unusual and fits together great. Great job.

Cześć Julek
Great job on this one. Karl looks very good too. It's nice that you posted this here. I like the olive drab color of the tractor. Fits well.
Pozdrawiam

SUPERB!

Julian,

How did you do the damage on the LCVP? It looks very convincing.

[jools_jl]

one photo can substitute 1000 words so maybe I'll show you how I made it. :D

Wow,now that I saw it without paint,it's looking even more awesome! What brand is this model,DML's ?

Marek

[Gopher]

looks great!
any ideas about base or figures?

[RickLawler]

Impressive - thanks for posting the progress of the damaged section.

[Dom]

incredible work here

very nice indeed

cheers
Dom

[MikkoH]

Awesome work! And thanks for sharing damage making pics.

But have to agree Roy. Those wood blocks jump from there not looking convincing. Suggest you change em and weather new ones and bravo!

[Mark van Esch]

Very nice model. Only one remark: the LCVP 'Higgins boat' was entirely made out of wood. The damage should have been splinterd plywood. See the link: Higgins memorial ; design (http://www.higginsmemorial.com/design.asp) (the site on the (re)construction of the LCVP [the higgins boat project] is sadly no longer active)
Non the less the damage made is very convincing, only being on the wrong craft. If it had been on a LCM(3) it would have been perfect.

Hopefully this is not too big disappointment
