I was going over the photos and really enjoying the detail and realism ... then I looked at the M-60 machinegun and saw the C-Ration can clipped to the feed tray and my jaw dropped. You, Sir, have been there, done that, seen it ... and then captured it in exquisite detail and accuracy.

I'll bet you even synchronized the blade tracking and calibrated the upper dual-boost actuators.

Congrats on the contest results! What's next? Nationals?

Very impressive! The weathering helps make it look "real"! I can almost smell the JP-4 and hydraulic oil!

Wooooh-hoe Nelly! The detailing sure spiffed it up. You'll do fine come the big day. Neat affect on the photos.

That thing is as big as I thought. It's bigger than the kids bike in the top photo! Wink [;)] Smile [:)]

Simply stunning. I liked this one before, and it hasn't stopped amazing me yet. You've really done a fantastic job on this one Papa-Echo!

The black & white style photos are pretty darn cool, too.
