Hi folks,
@ Tom- I've been off the radar for the past week. The M113 came out really well. The interior is class and I really think that the 50 cal really sets up the exterior. Can you see the driver's compartment through his hatch?
The white finish really stands out. How many coats did you use in the end? Very clean finish. It will stand out in your display case. I usually have to dirty my models up to hide my build shortcomings! Hope to meet you in another campaign!
@ Dave: Your finished Gaz-66 certainly looks the part. How bad was the model and who made it? I am thinking of making a diorama over the next while and I was looking for a suitable Eastern block car/jeep/truck model that will be shot up... Would it be worth doing a Gaz-66 if is was burned out???
Great campaign, quite a few tough builds!

Eion,
I ended up with about 5 or 6 coats. It looks real glossy in the pictures. But it is totally flat color. You can only see a little bit of the driver's compartment through any of the hatches. The Academy 50cal kit is great, gives you a very reallistic gun. Thanks for the comments they all help me to improve. Well hopefully we will be in the same campaign again. I am enlisted in about 6 or more. Take care. Keep building.

There's a good few Scorpions in this campaign!
What models did you all use. I'm tempting to splash out and get the AFV Club Scorpion. Any thoughts on what it was like to build?

The AFVClub is a nice kit ... needs a detail set but is really a joy out of the box .

I will upload them later tonight or tomorrow.
There are only 2 ways to get more space:
1) Delete existing images (well, not exactly more..)
2) Become an KitMaker subscriber. This costs money. I don't remember the details but I believe you get an increase in Gallery space. Click on your name in the upper right corner of the Armorama window to get more details.
