I have been playing with the boom armand while I still have some shaping to do it is now articulated. I also cut up some balsa instead of using the horrid piece of plastic timber.

Jeremy I would start a thread and see what the outcome is of that.

Looking good Darren!

I am impressed with the way the zimm has turned out. Caulk is another media I'll have to try.

No worries, I've had my own share of things going on that have really set me back.

I had been trying to keep tabs on the Armor/AFV forum while away or on the road, but it looks like I missed it. I just backtracked a few pages and found it. It looks like you have covered all of the question areas, I just need to pull my build back out and slowly go over it to determine what exactly I'm going to need to alter. Much thanks Darren

Jeremy if you are looking for a feature be that New, Reviews, or Features you can find them easily using one of two ways;
1st use the hompage and check the relevent sections (in the case of walk arounds its half way down the page on the left)
2nd use the "Whats New" tab as this list every feature of Armorama that has been released in a diary type format.

Would like to make a suggestion. It may add to the appearance to use a steel grey color to add wear to the dozer blade as well as bringing similar earth tones to both the blade and running gear.

Thank you for the suggestion Iain and this is a step that will be taken further when mounted to tie the vehicle into the diorama.
