Thanks guys your all very kind, every now and again we all have a model that you know is going to hit the spot this for me is a step forward in weathering and research as well as trying some new skills. A few filters later. .. .  DSC07602 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Now we can see were this is going still more filters to come then i need to do weather streaks and more micro stuff. Rgs Mac |

Its comming on nicely bud.Your getting better with every build. Your one of my inspirations in model finishing from another forum a few years back when i first saw your Schlepper with flak,I was building one at the same time and it made me take notice of your work.Did you ever finish that dio with the schlepper on as it was awsome.You continue to inspire. |

Thanks guys all round good feed back took it to another site and got some feed back on errors which i corrected and was happy with the comments as they made it a better model.
Andy i sort of finished it its sort of early mac weathering style that has scince i hope improved so its hard to go back,but it would be good to revisit it may be for the book. I also have gained much knowledge from friends like you who inspire us to go further my ground work has only improved with your help so thanks big buddy even the wife is impressed with my bush skills............
Luigi thanks friend always their.
.AG more updates soon.
.468 i thankyou sir you have a name marsked ranger?

Getting better and better each time, Mac. The rust and alloy combo adds a lot to the appearance and makes it very eye catching |

Hey Mac! Nice work on her! Anytime there's a BMP I've gotta see (BMP 1 that is) it as it's my favorite IFV. That and the M113.  So, any plans for a dio or some figures with it? Jeff |
