Wow, that’s some really great work, super clean.

Most impressive!

That looks like one tricky project Jan, but it looks like you are whipping it into shape- its really coming along nicely!

There’s some superb intricate detailing with all these scratch building elements. It’s great watching it all develop :+1::+1:

Thank you
created another figure for the environment of the vehicle, its a converted Trumpeter figure.
He’s wearing the old gear and a SCAR, created in green stuff & apoxisculpt. The SCAR comes from the bitbox (MB)

Really great!! You don’t need to buy any kits anymore, you can build them all from scratch. :+1:

A day fighting the details, created the mounts of 2 guns and some other small parts.
the weapons are from Live Resin, accept the .50 is a part from my bit box.

Looks great, did you use the conversion kit from Black Dog ?
Like the camouflage net, it’s that little bit more.

Yes- Black Dog.
