I have had quite a bit of bench time this weekend. I continued work on the M6A2 Linebacker.
I filled it up with gear in the back. I added personal items such as a canteen, magazines (Maxim and Hot Rod in the back; Sports Illustrated in the turret), bags, water bottle, etc. I also added water boxes and MRE boxes down the side of the turret. Various other items such as ammo cans and water jugs fill up the back.
I personalized it with a Kevlar helmet w/a 3ID patch on each side as well.
I also added a few bags, a map, and a magazine to the turret. I forgot to take pics before closing it up though.
Once the interior was done, I closed it all up and added some more details on the exterior. For the turret, I used some PE from a Voyager set to correctly close off the top of the gun mount. Only the center section actually moves. The rest stays in place and is closed off w/PE plates. The center one is wrinkled to represent a fabric cover that moves w/the main gun. The coax gun moves within the shields and has a slot to allow this.
I also swapped out the kit ammo can holders on the back of the bustle rack with the newer, fiberglass/plastic molded ones from a Kinetic sprue.
Lastly, I added the tie-down blocks to the armored side shields from an Eduard PE set, 36 in total.
Here it is overall at this point. I am ready to add the Stinger box and IFF antenna to the turret. Steve at Model Monkey should have them ready soon.
Now I wait to get the final parts to move on to painting.
