Great job, especially with the weathering and ordnance!

Not a fan of the interchangable infantry-pilots idea, though - makes zero sense in any universe.

Not much in the show made a lot of sense. It was more of a WWII in space.

Amazing how changing out the tires/wheels makes the gun look a lot more modern.

Thing with a clear coat is that I find it changes the base colour just enough to show, so that you have to clear coat the whole area covered by that colour . . . which then means touch-ups show up more strongly, which then in turn need to be clear coated, but which then don't match exactly, etc., etc., etc. . . .



cheers,
Robin.

I see they are also accepting donations for a children's cancer foundation.

That ESCI MOWAG Piranha/LAV-25 series of models was always a good subject to study.  So many versions, so many wheel combinations.

Looks excellent, BT! 

Was never a fan of the show because I never got to watch any of it (well, maybe half an episode) but I like the aesthetic.

Looking good like a Hammerhead should!  That was one of the things about SAAB that really appealed to me was the SA-43 but in the show it was never in focus long enough to really appreciate all of its features.  Worse yet, was the Chig fighters that were vague tri-wing shapes that were always just out of focus so were never any real details to be seen beyond the general shape.  I suppose that made the things more ominous to the viewers.

Another option is a clear coat.

Not necessarily any better, but another option.
