Something a little bit different from me for the next build![]() Going to add some aftermarket stowage and maybe put it in a simple diorama. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() See the sandbags? Way out of scale or what? ![]() ![]() And started work on some of the interior stowage, ammo anyone? ![]() Got the road wheels done ![]() And painted up a lot of the stowage and placed it inside to get an idea of where it's all going to go. ![]() ![]() |

Thanks guys, I have some little bits to do to it; tidy up the edge of the base, drill out the barrel of the .50 cal, matt coat it. Then I can take the studio photos of it and hopefully enter it in the competition at Southern Expo at the end of the month. |
