Yeah, huge improvement. I especially like this one because not many people are building this sort of display. Very unique. Thumbs Up [tup]

Alright guys. You win. No figures, just a stand-a-alone piece. I'll alter the poster.

Scene would look better wothout the poster. As stated above. It would not be allowed by any commander out there for the troops to display that, with or without an X on it.

I think the "X" would look a bit unrealistic. I'm not sure where the troops would get a poster that size, and I doubt there commanding officers would let them display it. Other than that, I love the model. Are you going to put some figures in there, or is it going to be a stand-alone piece?

Command post/utility connex looks good. The sign is a little out of place though. That is basically a protest sign. Don't think you would see that on any military vehicle/piece of equipment out there. Kind of sends the wrong message.


I could put a big X across it. That could also work.Smile [:)]

Utility Command post - work in progress
Posted by Tiking on Saturday, June 25, 2005 6:38 AM
Hi all. Hope all is well with everyone. Here is another work still in progress. It may look finish but still adding some detals. THe communication ariel antennae is not based on any particular model. Just something I scratchbuilt and added. Thought it would fit the scene nicely.

BTW, before you all critize the size of the rope, here's mine explaination:

The rope issue is not really out of scale. You are thinking normal rope that fits easily in the palms of normal human hands. I have seen ropes bigger than normal ones used to tug around heavy equipment, so this is what this rope is for. So they do exist. Enjoy:
