Hi All,
“Thanks for the Ride”.
A vignette depicting an LVT-4, of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps (RCAMC), somewhere in Northern Europe.
Both the LVT-4 and Jeep kits were easy to build, minimal parts, with no issues. Minor detail added to LVT; tie downs and rear ramp cable. Jeep was out of the box.
This was a nice little project, and I am pleased with the results.
Thanks for stopping by. KEEP IT FUN!
Kits:
Rubicon Models, 1/56, LVT-4, No. 280068
Rubicon Models, 1/56, 1/4 Ton 4x4 Utility Truck (aka Jeep), No. 280049
Diorama:
Groundwork is Celuclay, sand, dirt and ground vegetation. Sign and fences were made with wood. All were from my diorama supply stash.

Well done
Thanks, George
Looks pretty awesome, eh?
(Sorry…..my Canadian identity is showing)
Great work on the kits and the diorama, Gary.
Thank you, George
Awesome result, Gary!
Congratulations!
Thank you, Spiros
Brilliant, again! The terrain is spot on. Love the way you have ‘fitted’ the base to the subject in both builds. Great work!
Thanks, Paul
Very nice looking diorama, Gary @gwskat
Well done.
Thank you, John
Another really nice result with these kits.
Thanks, Tom. Yeah, they are interesting little gems
Great looking diorama, love medical subject.
Thanks, Robert. For some reason I am drawn toward the med side too.

Hot on the heels of the alligator at Tarawa... Love it ! You have built another masterpiece. This is the kind of build that we all aspire to someday make, but most of us don't have the skills needed like you do... I especially like the medical corps theme. It reminds me that I have a 1/35 scale Italeri Dodge ambulance to build someday...to be used as a backdrop item for my airfield photo shoot base. It is just like one of your recent dioramas with the wedding / honeymoon scene. I hope that mine will be half as good as yours are.
My friend this is another home run. Well done, and I clicked on the various "like" buttons for this one too.
Thank you, Louis, for all your kind words. Glad you enjoy them.
Very interesting, Gary. I never knew 1/56 scale existed until recently.
Thank you, John. This was my first exposure to Rubicon. I may add more of their kits in the future.
