Recently finsihed these 2 kits which i have enjoyed.

The 1st is the Academy M1151 in a small diorama and is used by a ODA unit out Hunting and show them getting ready to leave after an overnight stop in some old ruined compound.








The 2nd is Broncos M1114 and is a US ANG Engineer unit manning a checkpoint in Iraq.

The ATV is by Britains and is from there farmyard sets. Cost afew pounds of EBAY and scale is 1/32nd.I gave it a lick of paint and added some kit from the spares box and was happy with the finished item.

Neil, great builds and collection of figures and a super addition with the ATV. Good to see Live Resin weapons used, looking forward to their range of figures!

Just like Sean, right up my street.

Hi Neil,
Love both of them.
Using the sniper in the turret is a great idea.Just finishing my second Academy,terrific kit for the price.So well priced I had no reservations about getting the DToys crew for it.Pretty good at $45 with shipping for 4 resin figures.I've only used the computer operater at this time and working on the gunner.I was worried about the fit after using Legend,but they seem to fit very well.Only his toes had to be trimmed for a perfect fit.
When this is finished I also want to do another checkpoint.The checkpoint figures,M1117,Meng pickup and most figures are done.Holding off for the release of the Master Box figures.I'll try to post pics soon.
