Hi All,
Jurassic Park - Robert Muldoon's jeep number 10 - Completed.
Recipe.
Jeep - is from Mattel and I removed the roll bars which the one on the windscreen needed to be cut off the windscreen using a knife as it was molded to the windscreen. I repainted the jeeps red area's using Vallejo's Flat Red and mixed Vallejo's Beige Brown, White and Iraqi Sand until I got the colour to match and repainted the numbers.
The winch was removed and I painted the black string with Vallejo's Gun Metal and reattached it, the tool boxes, side mirrors, rear view mirror and sun visors were made using plastic card. I painted the tyres matt black and the chairs medium grey and also painted the blinkers, flood lights and then gave it a wash of Vallejo's Medium Brown.
There are a few cheap crates and boxes under the tarp which are from some WW2 figures and the tarp was done by trying out a baby wipe and then painting and weathering it. The pump action shotgun is from the Robert Muldoon figure from Mattel.
Base - is s picture frame which has had foam board added from strength and for the base of the diorama. The mud is a mix of fine sand, spakfilla and Vallejo's Chocolate Brown paint and it was mixed and then applied to both the base and jeep. Once the mix was dry I then applied a ground cover on both sides using a mix of sand, dirt, thin sticks, lichen moss, static grass and leaves and this was then applied to the base.
Once the main ground work was dry I glued the jeep to the base and then applied Woodland Scenics Realistic Water with a teaspoon of Vallejo's Chocolate Brown paint and mixed in and then applied it to the base and jeep to make the wet mud look and also to make the puddles. The grass tufts, and thicker ground foliage are from MiniNatur and the ferns are from the local craft store which were cut to a smaller size and the larger bushes are from Woodland Scenics Olive Green Fine Foliage set.
