details added and ready for paint job! A casual shot for the final moment!
Quite challenging when you have to rework the poor shaped antenna created by hobbyboss. The based is rolled with brass and on top with a circled plastic card plus plastic rod, then added a thin brass again.

Thanks pals,
After days of fine tuning, I have finally put up some more details for the battle simulation system. I believe it is really really ready for painting now!
And before painting, I have taken some final NAKED shots, enjoy!

Here are the latest updates of my work in progress leo, actually I start the weathering from the lower hull before hooking the tracks on it. The setup is during maneuver training. Hope you like it!

Just planned to create a figure for this leo, actually after 3 trials, finally I have done the face of this commander, the next step will be to create the arms for it.
And since the original decal from hobbyboss doesnt come with the MLC 60 for A4, I have ordered from Peddinghaus. Though it is not quite visible, it will make me feel better. Also have done some fine tuning of the weathering and dirts, hope you like it.
Thanks
Alex
