Ive finished the vehicle but run out of time to add figures.The vehicle is the one belonging too the 14th cavalary group ambushed on the Poteau Road.I wanted to show some figures removing jerry cans and other loot but alas I ran out of time.I apologise for the photo's

nice looking M8... esp like the chains they are a nice touch.
just one thing I noticed is the gear are a little monotone. a dark wash could bring out the details of the canvas and sleeping bags on there.

I like it!
I've got an M8 on the shelf so I'm always looking for ideas to plagiarise er, I mean inspiration :-)
I sympathise with being unable to finish what you wanted to do... the end of this campaign has arrived rather too quickly!

Thanks for the comments guys , I changed my job recently went from partime to full time just dont seem to have the hours to spend on modelling.Re the gear believe it or not their painted olive drab with a very dark wash then dry brushed with o.d. and ochre doesnt show up in the photo's though,the wheels are Verlinden nice items but a pig to fit.

Hi John good looking M8 very nice job you did there , the only thing i would do is a bit more dry-brushing fine detail is the mud on the wheels looks very realistic, overal well done
