I finally got started on my 1/72 jungle outpost.
The parts:
It is all 1970's Airfix so there is flash on each part and test fitting is very necessary. But after an hour I got this far:

My first thought was to make it a quick brush paint. But then I thought that it would compare badly to the other models. So I will use the black base technique with a brown/ greyish final color. Al the hutches I have seen in the tropics turned grey into no time because of the sun.

Thanks, I am trying to make each element of my diorama as a stand alone model. At first I wanted to do a quick brush paint on this outpost. But then I realised this would probably look bad next to the airbrushed truck and plane. So, no shortcuts, this hutch is getting the full treatment.
