Nice progress Gary! Love the added MG mount.
I just finished my M-16 (it's blogged on Armorama as well) and it was an enjoyable six months!
Keep up the good work!

These intense PE builds are fun to watch! I've used one of the smaller Griffon halftrack sets, and it was enough to stress me out. This is really looking great!

Yeah, Terry, I was looking at yours..very nice! I actually asked James about putting mine up because yours was so well done, didn't want to be redundant! But as it turns out, I'm going to do several things differently, and add some interesting detail, especially in the weapons. Also, the vehicle is for a big action diorama I am planning, so lots of toys n goodies will be added..crew in action, gear, weapons, belt links and shell casings everywhere! Now that I'm fully moved to Europe, I can get on with it! Thanks to all you guys for your kind words of support!

UPDATE on M16 HT build: Major issue of accuracy has come up, which I hope to resolve soon..it is holding the build at dead stop until resolved.
The drum mags for the quad .50s don't fit in the rear body correctly. this may be a major error from Dragon, working on answers now..stay tuned!
