Hi all
Found this kit I'd started a while ago and decided to finnish it and put it on a dio.
Kit is Italeri LTV-4 "Water Buffalo".
The figures are Tamiya's Army Assault Infantry Set with the others made up from parts of other kits.
The vests are made of Milliput (first time I've used it).
Sells are just plastic rod cut into small pieces.
Unfortunately lost the decals for the kit so had to improvise.
I completed it over 3 - 4 nights , all hand painted with what paints I had so happy how it's come out
Enjoy
Steve C

Ok....let me start by saying great start. Just let me throw my first 2cents worth. The whole scene would carry better is you turn the amtrack slightly so that its not parellel with the edge of your base. This also solves the problem of the poor foxholed G.I. that looks like he is about to get run over. Just a first glance critique. Still, like the overall effect and keep it up, Bro!!!! Kudos

I think the machine guns need to be painted black and then dry brush gun metal.
But keep up the good work.

Hi JJ
The G.I. figure in the foxhole can be moved (others glued & pined on).
I originally had him at the feet of the first guy so he could be moved.
seville6 will be re-painting the guns just as soon as I can find my black paint
