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!" :twisted:

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. :lol:

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