This model was picked up at Telford last year and I found the WW2 jeep in the loft ( yes it is WW2 and Vietnam but as a good Yorkshireman, a bit of mud and slop and you will not notice the difference) 
The book is the Osprey Campaign Series "Tet Offensive 1968"  and the jeep will be placed in a street scene with the Vietcong firing from a building, well that is the plan at the moment, it may change.

Most of the work on putting this model together was done at "Playday 2 - Return of the Nerds"   All have been primed and next job some colour on the bits and bobs.

Base made and a start made on the walls of the house.

Jig made for the wall in front of the building. A section of MDF cut for the wall but it looks a bit thick and out of scale, so a thinner section of acrylic has now been cut, will see which is best.

Decided that the acrylic looks more in scale than the MDF - so marked up and drilled out, last section filed to shape.

Roof beams now made and fastened together.
When solid will add some tiles ( yes Zak I will put them the correct way round this time ) and put some wallpaper on the inside walls and flooring on both levels.
