More firepower!!! Nice upgrade and a great pair.

Very nice build there, very nearly pushed myself to wanting to get a 1/72nd scale one has that, as you have certainly inspired me.

Magnificent

Whoa! That looks just so very right!

Out of a matter of interest, what did you use to manufacture the camnet? It looks good.

Captain Canada · March 09, 2017, 07:44:16 AM

Looks like a deadly combination to me, the pair of them ! Excellent work. One of my favourite pieces of armour so far. The gun looks so right on that chassis. I'm going to save this idea for an M113 in CDN Army service. Great job on all the details as well, the netting and the cooler are nice touches for sure. Also get a kick out of the left hand drive warning label !

Thanks to all of you, gentlemen, & to Rheged, for the Whiffie nomination!

rickshaw: The camo net is some lace mesh I bought about 8 years ago at the Mt Barker Spotlight store (materials, curtains, bedding, craft, kitchenware suppliers). I've used it for camo netting & as fencing mesh. I think it's nylon or similar as it doesn't soften when wet but does take acrylic paint nicely. I've got more than I think I'll ever use, if you want some let me know.

Wedding Tulle (Bridal veil material) apparently also works well.

Old Wombat · March 11, 2017, 12:25:49 AM

Could be the same stuff - I'm not up on my bridal gown & accessories materials & I bought a few m² of this from a bargain bin for a couple of dollars.
