Good morning.

I have seen that my MCTAGS Gunner Shield to do nothing with the original. I scratched a new Gunner Shield, i don't know his name. Anyone of you?

That Gunner Shield is not finished, the frames that hold the glases must be scratched, the glases it self must be scratched and all the nuts must be build on it.



The lights on the windshield was painted, but the inside must to be painted in silver and filled with woodglue.



The interior became some weapons, ammoboxes and other stuff, picture follow. I hope you like it.

Hello.

I have build the 3 armored windows and the frames for it, the frames are not finished. The armored glass is from a legend Humvee conversion set, the frames are cardboard stripes. This material are better for so little works i think. After this work i started with the nuts for the holes in the shield, the Nuts are from plusmodel (0,7mm). This parts are very cool and this work was finshed in a half hour.





The rest of the nuts on the inside of the shield i cutting.

Then the insides of the lights on the windshield were painted silver, after drying they were filled with woodglue.




this morning:


hope you like it and sorry for my bad english

The Shield is photoeached part, but i build this with plasticsheets. The turret is finished, only the shield is failing and the toolbox must be painted.
