Hey James:
Its a very nice start, I like the stones/rocks, and the shape of the road adds interest. It is hard to get a sense of scale without vehicles/figures, but I look forward to seeing more of this. Whats your plans for this?
Cheers
Bruce

Nice job. I agree - the shape of the road is good and the cracked rock is nicely done.
One comment - the edge of the road above the frame is 'popping' out because its white. I'd touch that with a bit of black or dark color.

That is really nice, I like the detail of the grass growing between the broken road. I can't wait to see more of it.

Ciao kubelmanjam,
Oh, man. I really like it. The cracked road is really a nice touch, and I have never seen anything like that before. Great job!
Ciao for now

Looks really nice!!
The road really looks dusty and old, I like it.
This road could even pass for somewhere in Greece or another mediteranean country if you would add a few more bigger rocks on the side.
I agree with Bruce that it's a bit difficult getting a sense of scale without figures, but it's already looking very promissing.
Just check if the really torn up side of the road isn't damaged in that extent that towing anything over it would be impossible.
Keep the pics coming!!!

Nice job adding the stowage racks in the 251 - If you want you can add rifle racks to the top part of the interior and youd have all the interior detail done.
Nice job so far.

I used a bits foil (thicker style) I cut in a thick "T" for the butt end then fold it and use CA to attach it. For the front end I simply made and an "L" shape and left it an "L" and attach it.
There is room two.
That's what I did. I'll try and find a picture and post it later.

The netting on the cannon looks a little stiff... if you want it to sag around the unit, try soaking it in white glue before placing it on the piece. The weight of the water will cause it to drape more naturally, and once the glue dries, it will be permanent.
