I packed a lot of ammo cans in there... I have seen what automatic weapons fire does to ceramics and brick work... To quote the end of "Taps"- "It's beautiful man!"

Cool build Stik. I think the Dutch Army used a variant of that vehicle called YPR. I like how you did the shading etc, difficult to do over white. Because everything is easily overdone on a white surface.

Thanks Borg. Yes indeed, white is indeed a challenging color to work with. I used a dark gray wash in this case, and I really like the effect. That came out as intended. The YPR can be considered a cousin to this vehicle. Both are based off the M113 and it's later MICV developments, but they are quite different in the troop compartment and ramp areas. I will try to get some photos of the two builds I have if these together for a comparison.

So as I was gazing longingly at your avatar, I noticed it says "Moderator" now. Oh great! So now you're going to do everything in your power to keep me down, just like in your real job!
"Moderator." Come on, man. There's nothing remotely moderate about you.

And I am far more moderate now than I was in my days of excess
