Just finished my Hobby Boss V100. Not very well researched or anything more of a tribute to the old Verlinden kit I admired as a kid.

I don't know much about the V100 other than this one isn't over done and has just the right amount of weathering but the dio is stunning! Looks like a magazine photo layout to me, very sweet looking!

Matthew,

I must say I like this litle vignette. The only comment I might make is that leaving the feed mechanism door open on the .50 cal seems very wrong. Normally, one tries to keep dust & dirt out of the working bits of any weapon, so leaving that door open without someone actively doing something to those bits just doesn't seem right. If the door was closed and ammo box closed as well, it would seem to hang together a bit more. Or, keep the ammo box & MG as they are and add a guy doing something to the gun that warrents having the door open. Either one would be consistent, as is it is slightly "wrong" if you get my meaning.

Fair point Paul seemed like a good idea at the time. Can anyone help me out with how to post photos.
