	This is coming along beautifully. I really love the method you used to achieve the finished wood on the various tools and accessories...a base of brown with clear orange is just so brilliant!

	Michael this is really turning out to be one sweet build. The fifty and thirty cals look great! I've got to agree; the clear orange was a nice touch. "Happiness is a belt fed weapon"

Thanks for the comments and for checkin' out the WIP, tellis! Look for the finished pics up sometime tommorrow. I would have gotten the build finished today, but I have a party I feel obliged to go to, thus my finishing touches can't be done untill night.

	Hey Michael, I really like the tissue treatment technique and it looks like you just get it wet and with a little glue that is how you are adding texture right? Using coffee to age parchment or paper is brilliant! Your stowage is really cool and I have never said to anyone for any reason ever!!!

Yep, all you do is make pour some Elmer's glue in a bowl then add some water. Then you mix untill the glue is dissolved. After that all you have to do is dip the tissue paper in the mix and wrap it around the object you want to cover. However you must split the standard tissue in two by pulling it apart(a tissue right out of the box is too thick.)

Thanks for the comments about the stowage(still gotta scratch the straps) and glad you like the coffee technique.

Re: Zvezda M-3 Scout Car ~FINISHED Pg.7~

	Yep, it's finally finished and here are those pics. Interior goodies consist of a PPSH-41, an M3 grease gun, some Ruskie helmets, some ammo cans, and the two maps/document. As for the build overall, the modifications and scratch built parts are way too numerous to list. Heck every single part of this build was modifided in some way, shape, or form(if you really want to know what was scratched/modified then you gotta read through the entire WIP.) Weathering consisted of a grime and burnt umber wash in the interior cabin areas. As for the exterior, a wash of burnt umber/burnt sienna and a thicker burnt umber wash over that. All the washes were sealed in with Krylon Acrylic Matte finish. Pastels were applied sporadically, and final touches were given with a graphite pencil. Thanks for looking and for all those who followed my build. All comments and questions greatly appreciated. "There's nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight."- Lon Chaney

Re: Zvezda M-3 Scout Car ~FINISHED Pg.7~

	Michael this is a build you should definitely be proud of! Take a bow sir. I don't know if you attend shows but if you do I bet you hear more than one person remark "That's a Zvezda?!" My only suggestion would be to use your graphite pencil and highlight the edges of the MG rail. "Happiness is a belt fed weapon"

	Absolutely stunning work. I definitely know how it is working on these east european kits, I had the pleasure of wrestling to make the Alan Grille look presentable, lots of work and TLC, so I can definetly appreciate all your hard work you put into this. Looks great.
