Thanks guys!
even though it may be too late, the ammo boxes and the weapons (E.G. the M16 and the M79)
would look a bit better if painted- unless I just can’t see that they are!
Yah they arent painted yet as I was just placing them to see if I liked the layout. They will 100% be painted though before I add them to the finished model…which still has a way to go.
ok!
Cheers!

Ok guys I know its been awhile but Ive gotten a bit of work done on “Nancy” and shes close to the finish line.
Still a bit more to do though!
Ezra,
Its looking real good as is…looking forward to seeing it finished!
Cheers,
Excellent job there, taking down notes for when I start mine.
Looking great Ezra. The trailer/gun base came out great. Weathering looks good too.
Looking excellent as always Ezra!
Hi Ezra, That’s an outstanding job on the weathering! Looks just right IMHO.

Thanks guys!
I got the wire on the winch (?) done today.
Doesn’t look perfect but I can live with it.
Chris (@Chris_Bryan) also agreed to cast me rows of .50 cal ammo cans to line the sides of the gun bed. So that will look awesome.
I am working those up with some other stuff and will have it soon … The truck looks really good
No rush Chris!
I just bought these goodies from Sprue Brothers to (hopefully) add some interest to the finished build.
Im planning on showing the truck as it would look coming back from a patrol, so a few ammo cans will be empty and there will be some empty shell casings scattered next to the quad and M60’s.
How many bags of shell casings did you get, cause that’s enough for just one trigger pull on each gun if individual. Myself, I would want to make the weapons cleaning more worth it then one pull.
I only got one bag (25 casings) cuz the bed will mostly stuffed with ammo cans so I dont want to over do the effect.
I was unhappy with the painted look the mirrors had so I cut out and glued on some tin foil. ( Im to cheap to buy BMF) I think it looks much better.
I get that and it’s your model. Each .50 box ammo holds hundred rounds. So only a quarter of one can. Looks like 40mm cans you have mounted. 25 casings would be a drop in the bucket so to speak.
Hi Ezra, The rear-views look great!
As you’ve shown, well-coordinated raids on the kitchen for foil is always a good idea.

Ezra . I dont buy the high priced foil either and when I did in the past it was a colossal let down .
You my friend are walking in the footsteps of model building giants from the past by choosing to find solutions to problems . Yes you are filling those footsteps quite well
Don’t go giving the kid a swelled head now Chris.
The kid is doing a good job . When he gets to big for his britches we can just shove him into a big model box and ship him off to bigheadastan
Hahaha Okay okay that’s a deal.
If we fold him small enough we can use a smaller box and save on postage.
