Here is the third vehicle that going to be in, one of these days, a dirama I have in my head. All I need to do is add something in the TC right hand and seal the entire thing with clear flat.
Two more vehicle's to do, the Bradley you see in the background and a M1A1. I probably wont start working on the Dio till after March. Next month is San Antonio's FiestaCon, so I will probably entire all these as single vehicles.
Once again, what do you guys think!!!!!
I am still working on the picture taking, so I appologize for the quality of the photo's.

Pete-
Absolutely astounding. Yet another piece of beautiful work from your OIF collection. This isn' really a criticsm but if you wanted to add something to the .50 cal, I have seen pics that show some M113s with a starlight scope added on it. I'll try and upload the pic or get a link to it. Other than that, it looks absolutely fantastic.

Looks great there Epi!
If I may... I would tie down those boxes on the trim vane. The clatter of the tracks moving would rattle those right off the vehicle. Also, a little more grey on the sleeping mat at the base of the antenna. (unless they've changed in color since my day)
A piece of paper cut and drawn on to represent a map?

Looking great Epi. All the stoage really makes this realistic and straigt from the pictures like we saw on the news. Only thing I can see is to add more dust .. a lot more!
One very simple thing that singely improved my photos was a tripod. Its unbelieveable how much the quality improved. You can buy simple little table-top tripods for as little as $10 - $15. Work great and allow you to keep the camera close to hand when you are working!
