While working for the Aerodrome Campaigne,I gave a little break to finish Super Armored Fighting Suit diorama.SAFS is a Nitto model, the infantry is a modified DML german figure .I made the body armor,knee and elbow pads using sylmasta epoxy. Weapon is a combination of a Russian anti aircraft missile and a panzerschreck. As always,all comments will be highly appreciated.

Greywolf,
WOW!!
Very nice, I especially like the Strela-chrek...very Kow-ish.. (Kow is the SF3D founder-artist..)
Is that one of the 1/35th cast suits?
I may have to re-evaluate my opinion of them then..
How much work , other than a new figure head, did you have to do to bring it up to those standards?

That is pretty cool. I like the look on the guy in the suit - "uhhh this thing is heavy"

The metal plating is painted very well.

Very creative.

Very nice work. One question here; when the hatch is closed, how does the guy see which way to go? #:-)

There's a periscope that looks like a webcam on the top of the hatch.

Hey, this is great... How did you do those numbers on soldiers front armor and helmet.. It looks amazing. BTW, that SAFS is one of the best weathered 1/35 figs I've seen. Wonderfull job.
