Hello, I've just enlisted for this campaign.
I will make a M998A1 from Italeri with DEF Model wheels and a few replacement parts from a Tamiya kit.

I added some stowage from the spares. Most pictures of the Rangers' version shows little stowage being carried.
I drybrushed it with MM USMC Armor Sand and then used ash from the grill as pigment.
The rope on the front is a length of brown thread from a piece of canvas. I soaked it in white glue to get it to retain its shape.
And an artsy shot with the RSOV placed out in the ash pile.
And with that I am calling this one done. I just seem like I am forgetting something...hmm what could it be? Anyway, I'll upload some pictures to the gallery in a bit.

Nice work on your RSOV. I like the dust effect and finally details are visible even in black color.

Paul,
It took months of neglect to get the hood of my truck to get that particular visual affect. If I washed it I'd lose my photography background. Actually, I rarely drive it except when I need a truck to move something...or I have to move it to cut grass. It's black and really shows dust and dirt. We're still dealing with some pollen here so that doesn't help much. Besides, it seemed quite fitting that a dusty black Landy is sitting on a dusty black Toyota truck.
Anyway, thanks for the comments on the RSOV...and for a great campaign. It's a sweet little kit and went together pretty well. Hobby Boss continues to impress me with their subjects and their engineering. I might do a British version at some point so I can go sand color and load it with gear. Interested to see what your next campaign idea will be.
And yes I did intentionally leave out the water bottle.

People are already finishing their builds and i haven't even started! 
Time to fix that.
Alex nice work there mate. The last pic especially puts things into prospective.
Anthony nice looking Semovente.
Steph looking good mate.
Paul i'd love to just nip over to Corfu since i've never been there! As for the sunburned Brits, no worries mate they are just having fun as they are supposed to do at their vacations. Now regarding the antislip coating, any ideas or techniques? Never done that before. Kit will be started today, so probably a progress post tonight.
Have fun people! and a few cold ones....

but I'm sure if you just nip over to Corfu you could get some fine sand from Sidari or Lefkimmi . Just watch out for those crazy sunburned Brits

John I will either go for chinchilla sand or textured paint 
.
I know the textured paint is expensive and difficult to use
,
apparently it comes out of the can with something like 8 bar pressure. SO I recon the sand is the safest way and cheap too
SO then here we go, I sure can't let everyone else pass the finish line without even starting (lol)

Good morning everyone. Started working on the kit and just saw that Trumpeter has attempted to recreate anti slip surface. So the question for the guys that have better knowledge than me on the Chally 2, does it look the part?

Steph almost done I see, looking great there
PrickleHead and another great looking Semovente
Nice work there also a very clean build, well executed
Only one thing I would change, the leather jacket on the figure
may need a little toning down, it appears a bit shiny. But that is only my 2 cents
John here's a close up of the Chally 2:
IMHO the stuff looks very coarse, so I'm going for the sand . Even if it's a bit rough.

Finally got the base paint on the model. I made the mistake of using my usual dark grey primer, this meant that it took three coats of Vallejo "Middlestone" to finally get a solid colour. While this may not be much hassle for airbrush users, for hand-painters like me, it sure does take some time!
Attached photos are just after the first wash, I've started with Vallejo "oiled earth wash", which I hoped would bring out some of the edges. I'll do a second wash on the horizontal surfaces with Desert dust wash.

Start pic.
Hopefully I'll get motivated enough to finish this and the other campaigns I've signed up for. Despite it's flaws it will be built OOB.
