Thanks. It was at Armorcon and I made some corrections based on the feedback. It will be at Granitecon and Baycon as probably Valleycon, too.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

Superb work, Al!
So how'd this do at Armorcon? Certainly it won something?

Thank Boyd and Paul.
Boyd, it did not do anything at the show. There was an alignment issue I had missed with the brush guard and they thought the weathering was not consistent. I addressed these and found a glue splooge on the minigun ammo box they missed. The weathering wash pushed and the brush guard was pulled of and replaced.

Thanks, BB and Bob.
Thanks,Marc, but that was a fair judgement. The brush guard was crooked. I fixed that. The hood and other NATO colored areas were dusty but the sand colored areas did not show any dirt. the streaking and dust were added after Armorcon. They missed (or at least didn't comment on) a big glue splooge on the minigun's ammo box. That, too, has been fixed.
