Looks like one of our stubborn puppies.. It was great watching you breath new life into this shelved project. Wonderful finish to this!

Bad dog!
Great job on this. The dusty weathering looks terrific.

Love it! I am always rooting for little animals especially the pup! I thought the goofy grin on the one figure was a bit odd and the driver climbing out was a strange pose then realized there was a puppy on the sprue. Sort of a very simple but effective story all in the box.  |

I always thought that the figures in this kit didn't quite look very action oriented either... but now that you say that the puppy came in there with there with them, the poses do make sense.
Nice work on the digital camo for the ACUs.
And a great finish on this build project.

Very cool!! Nice work on this build. It was fun to follow along with. The base and stand-off scene are great too The base is disappointing in pictures since no matter how hard I try you can't see all the tire ruts that are there. It just looks flat when really it is far from it. You can almost see the ruts here if you squint and hold your tongue just right.  I made the base up in about 15 minutes working time last night. It is just self clumping kitty litter on a dollar store craft plaque. I laid down a base layer of craft paint and poured litter over it. Then I made raised sections with thick lines of white glue and more kitty litter on top. Then I wet the whole thing down and let the self clumping feature bond it all together. Once that dried I added the bushes and sprayed the whole thing down with flat acrylic from a rattle can. Not happy with the "bushes" and will swap them out for my normal stuff once I can get to it. |

This is an excellent idea with the kitty litter. To be honest, I didn’t even notice the lack of tire tracks. I think my mind just decided it was some hard packed substance and subconsciously moved on. |

This is such a magnificent little diorama with a fantastic humorous story! Way to go! Yep. They caught him and to him back to base. He shared many adventures during the deployment then went home with Andy to Sun Valley Idaho where he lives today in his old age. His name is Roadblock! |

This probably got patterned after my crazy dog. He's just nuts enough to pull something like that. Great theme and really good work on this Tony.

 Roadblock was found this morning in the cat's food dish. After missing for three weeks he is thankfully unharmed and has returned to his rightful place. I even now know who the culprit was since only the older cat places his successful hunting trophies in the dish. |
