I'm delighted to see this as a Feature. I followed Marcos' build in the Forums and was impressed then - putting it all together in this format is even better.
Curiously enough, even before they announced the Maultier, I sent Zvezda a link to Marcos' build and they were extremely impresssed...

Marcos did an outstanding job on the conversion.
Hopefully Zvezda picked up on the differences and did the changes on their Maultier kit.

Very nice build Marcos. Like many of your others, its always nice to see something more unusual. The camo looks very cool as well. The only down side is the splashed mud. Very visible on some places like the upp back body, yet areas of the running gear are still base colour and clean. It leat down an otherwise excellent model .. and could still be touched up easily enough.
