Brilliant job Karl! Love it! It looks real. Where did you get that tarp, or did you make it? If you did...how? Were the tool drawers made from wood?

Nice! I dig the tarp. Looks very realistic. All you need is to put on the figures and you're off to a beautiful diorama

Wow, it almost looks real huh? I bet with the right back ground you could get some amazing photos. I think you have just the right amount of dust on it. I'd love to see a better shot of what you did with the seats. I have one of these models in the box still sitting on the shelf. Its calling me.... "John, build me."

Looks great Karl...good job ..Tarp looks excellent ...If anything I'd dirty the floor in the stowage area a bit more ...other than that ....hey you got a winner.

As I've already said Karl, it's brilliant, you've very nearly captured the impression of a 'real' vehicle. Couple of nitpicks? Knock-out marks on the inside of the tool cabinet door that you've left open, bit of fine chain added to the towing pintle, a few more scuff marks in the dust, and lastly, the tarp looks a bit shiny, this might be through using Tamiya 'smoke' to shade it, that stuff refuses to matt down.

An absolutely fantastic looking Famo!

Since this is RRB, is the left side windshield wiper swipe missing on the glass? I can't tell from the pictures.

I really like your Famo the weathering looks so realistic not to over done, i wouldn't change a thing on the weathering, if you ad more stowage it will be perfect.
