Looks good. The "chocolate chip" camo looks good too. The only thing I would add is either clear or green-tinted resin to the goggles on the guy with the map. I see you were able to fix the top hatch too, good deal.
thanks for your answer Gino!glad you like the figures.
I will see what I can do about the goggles.
yeah, I fixed the hatch. bended a nice lever from some leftover PE.
does anyone else have an oppinion about my model?
thanks !
Another option for the goggles would be to use clear plastic glue. You can build this up in layers to mimick a piece of glass.

My last good idea was to take a beer to the HOA meeting.

Looks really good. THe figures and base came out good. Nice job.
One change I would make though is the tow pintle. Dragon's is horrible.
Other than that it is great.

The tow pintle is the circular piece in the middle of the below pic.

This is how it should look, it is the same on pretty much every US heavy tracked vehicle.

I will be getting mine and trying to figure out what extra-details. I want to add and make it a super-detailed model. I want to bring it to a contest some day and see what happens. I tried building one awhile back an it didn't work out so I gave up and I saw a MLRS 270 used in a show over in the middle east an it sparked something in me. I'm just needing a chair an a good light for my work bench and maybe I can get out of this funk I'm trying to get out of.
Happy Modeling
