OK, here are the photo's (quite a lot, really);




























Tomas the Tanker went AWOL for a bit, then I found him hiding out in a cupboard;








Obviously not perfect but all constructive criticism & other comments welcome, as usual.

(Note: The wheels are those supplied with the kit, which I intend to swap out with resin at a later date - when I can get them from my dealer.)

Cheers!

Yes! Another masterpiece. 

Is there any way to place an order for my beloved Corps for a battalion (or two) of these?

Thanks, LJ! :icon_alabanza:


I don't know. You could try sending a pic to General Motors Diesel Division - Canada, General Dynamics Land Systems - Australia or the US parent company,  General Dynamics Land Systems, & see if they'd build them for the USMC. ;)

Huzzah !!

and even more huzzah for the uber clean cutting mat you use as a photo backdrop, it is an interesting concept that works quite well.

Thanks, BT & NFLL! :icon_alabanza:

The cutting mat idea came about a little while ago when I couldn't find anything else as a back-drop, so I used my spare large cutting mat. The colour is fairly neutral & it gave a quick size-reference with the 1cm squares. ;)

Awesome build! It looks so good I half expect to see Tomas doing push ups before the commander has him square away that bustle rack. >:( ;D

Lovely job OW. What makes it a particularly good whiffy is that it looks like it could actually work in real life. Great build, nice colour scheme and weathering and a lovely kit out

OK, Tomas has been replaced by the proper commander.

Here are a few pic's:
