This is cool! Well done so far. I would just add a bit of weight to the rear axle thou. My two cents anyways.


Cheers,
Tom

Hard to tell without paint, but a promising concept.

Nice concept, but have to agreed, that's a big load for that small pickup.

Actually, in our part of the world, this would be about an average load

Drop the load and just have the figures.....will make it cheaper to purchase, a lot of resin the lads are sitting on!

A couple of weeks ago Andy came to the LHS as part of the 2nd annual "Pantherpalooza". He put on a great scratch building figure seminar. Nice guy too !
Anyway, this is a subject that is way underserved in both figures & equipment. But, I agree with Anto992 a pick up truck filled with Taliban & gear would be a great next subject for Andy to tackle.

Ok, I know malnutrition is a big issue in African countries, but I think he's overdoing it with those arms

Big fan of Andy's work --- he's got an awesome, very natural-looking sculpting style! Got this one on the list along with the two mercenary sets. I wonder if with some modification, he'd release a set like this with civilians on the way to work or wherever...?

I would prefer men wearing thong slippers insteat of boots. Or sneakers in alternative. Anyway great figures and yes we do not need all that waste of resin :-) .
My two cents
