Hi Randy,

I don't want you to take this wrong, and no offense, but - I HATE YOU! Ok, not really, but I DO envy your talent. You said you "don't normally build armor". Well, I've been building armor for 50 years - ok, 48 years - and I'm not even close to your ability! This is a magnificent build, pure and simple and thank you for sharing with us. Did I mention magnificent??

Blessings,

Dennis

P.S. If you want. you can give it to me when you finish

Hello Dennis,, Thanks, glad you like it. I am getting hooked on this stuff!! My train layouts are getting buried under boxes of armor and figs

Randy this is just superb, absolutely superb. Everything about it just falls together perfectly, I simply love every aspect of it. As someone else who spends hours trawling through vehicle tech manuals and things to add every bolt and rivet I love what you have done in terms of detailing. Once again just superb. Please, please build more armor! Heck-have you seen the Trumpeter 1/35 trains............

Hello Zaltar, Thanks for your interest but no , no progress! Turns out that figure painting has a learning curve that is fairly steep Still working on it.

randy

this staghoud is absolutely fantastic n the interior work is amazing its like lil miniature soldiers have put it together for you.. you have alot of patience and skill to be able to do this * thumbs up *

have you made that light bulb ?? if you have my hat goes off to you cos any1 who can create something so small and look so good deserves a trophy for skill.
are you going to be putting the staghound in a vignette or dio?
keep up the good work will keep an eye on the build

Hi Patrick, Not much going on with this as I am not happy with my figure painting or my attemps at modelling mud! Please use whatever you like of the pics so far. Randy

Hi Randy,

Keep with it, figure painting can be really hard, getting them to look half right. Did you do anything further on the large trees, we spoke about this on ML a while back.

The vehicle and ground work are stunning, and those chains were something else.

The vehicle is an all time show stopper, I take my hat off to you, absolutely terrific work.

Gotcha. Do you have any pics you haven't posted of the finished vehicle with/without base? If so, I'd like to get them too. Let me know; you can contact me direct if you like at [email protected] .

Fantastic Randy, I like your work because you use "homemade solutions", avoiding use aft´s. With today´s price this is a great advantage.

Congratulations.

Best regards

Randy .. There's few words that can describe how amazing this work of yours is ,, so i aint going to worry about using any of them ,,this work is mind blowing enough and there's no way i am going to over work my brain trying to find the words to describe it
One thing i do know for sure is this ..i am never ever going to buy this kit because no matter what i do to it i will remember your work and mine will suck

Keep up this brilliant work mate ,we all waiting to see how those figures turn out now ..oh good luck with them too ..from one of your posts i think you gonna need it ,god knows i still suck a figure painting lol
