Hi All,
This is my June MOM submission. It's DML kit #6187 built almost oob. I added a few weld seams from plastruct rod, pe tool clasps from eduard, straps holding the backpacks from lead foil, and the tarp is from an other DML 251 kit. I replaced the small foilage hoops with copper wire, and also plumbed the lights and antenna mount. The crew's gear is from the spare box. The model was painted with Vallejo acrylics, weathered with a "sludge wash" followed by a dry brushing and powders. The mud is a mix of ready mix tile grout, mixed with some fine grass fibers. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking, and comments welcomed.

its a beauty, love the paint job the chipping and the mud, very real looking, this makes me want to build mine, all round great work.

Great job! I was wondering how you created the impact holes on the rear tool box? They look just right and very realistic IMHO!

Stunning piece of work Brian. Love the paintjob and weathering.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliment.

hellbent11, the damage was done by first thinning the back side of the tool box with the dremel tool, then I take a sharp knife and poke and twist a few holes in the thinned areas.
