Ford of the Motor Machine Gun Service
Some of the kit parts look to "heavy" to me, so I replaced them with plastic strip.
Added some panel lines and hinges (stretched sprue) to the bonnet
The bed needs some boards...
Added new steering wheel post (so it's round, unlike the kit part) and wood grain to the bench with a scribe tool and by sliding a round file sideways along the plank.
The kit radiator cap (left) seems way to big, so I had to make a new one.
Added bolts to the machine gun stand.
The machine gun took a lot of work to "clean-up"
Up-armored!
Base coat of paint scheme
Added lines with a permanent marker
Weathered with oil wash
Just need to add the lights to be done.

George BaconWorked on the pedals (3 teeny tiny parts which needed filling on the pedal face due to sprue attachment points that left holes) and the break lever (which needed some updating).

George BaconI decided to create a little up-armored Great War Humvee😉. Don't know if it was, but it might have been. 🙂

George BaconThanks Mates! No figures planned. I want to show it at an IPMS meet, and figures can detract from the judges' scoring... 🙁

George BaconAdded a scratch-built starting crank and the running lights (lenses to be added later). Time to paint! 🙂
