I dig the duffels, and the rolled up stowage on the front. Many a model has attained “mediocre” status by relying too heavily on the use of plastic Tamiya stowage.

Work update
- M163: almost done. Besides the tracks, there’s still a bit of dust to add. I am also not happy with the positioning of the aerial reconnaissance strip on the deck. Maybe I will fold it a little more or make it smaller.
I want to add some figures to give a sense of scale on a simple base.
Maybe this figure, making a pun with the sound of the Vulcan cannon and the Violin, something like Violin x Vulcan duet.
The figure, despite being interesting, has two problems: the position of the soldier sitting, which is a little difficult to fit and last but not least irritating, the GIANT laces on the boot.
*** M577:** I decided to remove the antenna guards, and although there are vehicles with and without the guards, I didn’t like the final result of aligning them.
I found some very good bases in a set of resins. I was thinking of adding screws to the plasticard circles, but the resin will be better.
I also reduced the height of the commander’s hatch, as friend ptruhe suggested.
I did the wiring and the APU base, but I might only glue them on after painting to make the job easier.

Nice idea that figure
And making him sit properly shouldn’t be to difficult with all those sandbags, add 1 or 2 made from magic sculpt/ putty and you can press his behind nicely into it.
M163 looks great:+1:

Wooow! 
Nice tip, @bwilt, thanks. I hadn’t thought of that.
This way I can position it to the side and not in front of the M163.

That would be visually different but a more likely duet would be with a guitar, imho. Not to say there isn’t crewman that know how to play the violin, just a higher percentage that someone plays and brings a guitar to the field.

Hey guys, this campaign ends in a month, and we only have two finishers? Get going and get those tracks across the line!
Personally, mine won’t be done, I got assigned grandson duty 5 days a week and my bench time has been nearly zero for the past 6 months.
