Wow, that looks awesome! This is the first time I saw the MK-19 painted tan...not saying it's not done, just the first time I saw anyone do it. I like your use of a range of colors on the gear and vehicle. Nice job!

Thanks Peter -

I actually used a picture that I saw here on Armorama to base the colors on the Mk19 -

Ah, the famous photos of the "Warpig." I saw those photos before, but didn't notice that the main guns were tan until now. Thanks for pointing them out.

Great job especially with the painting of the gear. With such an amount of bags, crates and boxes, it certainly was a real challenge to paint. congratulations!

Wow! Amazing work... you really thought of every detail there. The stowage is great and it adds to the busy look of the vehicle. Is the camo net Black Dog piece? I wish you added a figure or two, just to show the size of the beast... Evolution has some really nice SF dudes which would go well with the vehicle.

Great photos BTW. Can we ask for some more detail photos? I would love to save them for future reference.

Great build - beautiful work. I really like the subtle color transitions ( which seem to be uniformly matte too). I'm glad you posted this
Cheers

Thank you all for you kind words. I may add a figure later and the camo nets were from one of the ProArt add-on sets.

Here are a couple of other shots Mario:
