Thanks mate , didnt fasten it to the base as just used it to photograph the kit ,the model has then gone into a cabinet.
I have glued some to based like this though and use just a very small dab of super glue.

Gee this really is a big beastie isn't it! ... super looking build Neil.

This range of vehicles is really crying out for some aftermarket crew figs though ......

Looks really nice, these are a lot larger than I imagined, I have only seen Jackal? in person before, and that was quite large!

Very cool. How were the 1/48 guns on this kit? Were they very detailed or were they just shaped blocks?

Thanks guys for the good comments. With regards to the weapons then the .50 is pants !!! but the GPMG and the SA80,s in the figure packs are very nice so cant understand what is going on with the .50 . The .50 i have used on this one is a Tamiya version with the scope cut of the Airfix one glued to the top.
The vehicle is lacking a crew so an looking forward to the Airfix crew coming out.

When I was in London at Xmas, I saw these (and the LRs) in Hamley's and almost picked a couple up - sorry now that I didn't...

Regarding AM (particularly stowage), hopefully Black Dog will be working on something as, at the moment it's a great model, but looking a little 'unoccupied'

Looks stunning Neil.

If I can suggest a light-in-volume of a dark-in-colour wash in the vents on the left and the foot-plates to bring them out a bit more.
