Chris,
Very nice. I think that Leo with slat is never story. I think that next week I can continue.

Thank you Adam, I hope to display my model at a up coming show.
Thanks Andy I'm glad you like it. I saw pictures of your Lav at Capcon, Very well done Afghan dust. Its harder to make it look realistic then I first thought.

Thanks Chris!
Where did you see the pics from CAPCON?
Funny thing - I entered the model but did not have enough time to check out all the other models on display ))))) the room was closing for judging

Gonna paint this stuff and then finish it off.

I found a use for the Hobby Boss Leopard hulls- holders for you Tamiya turrets while you paint them.
I have the gear painted and in place I just have to blend it in and add strapes.
