Good looking models. I like the M-997. I still have mine lying around in the box. Haven't gotten around to building it yet, but maybe this'll give me a bit of a spur. I'll add it to the list :)
That Leopold is a monster! I can't believe the (real) thing and the model are so large. So...tempted...to...buy....

Ditto on the BMP-3 paint job.. As always pure eye candy.

Can you have something such as a sweet-eyeball?

absolutely amazing and way way out of my league!!!Bow [bow]Bow [bow]Bow [bow]
can offer one teeny weeny piece of advice regarding the leopold? the gun looks awesome and so do the figures, except that some of the figures appear somewhat "shiny" or "glossy"...i guess it's maybe because of the camera flash or something? i couldn't work it out, because the gun itself still seems "matt" and very well weathered. other than that, i could be looking at a WWII pic, especially when i look at the black and white pics!Cool [8D]Cool [8D]Cool [8D]
please don't take the criticism the wrong way; i emphasise that this is 100 times better than anything i could do!!! just trying to help...
many thak for for sharing these pics.
regards,
nick
Kind regards, Nicholas

Many thanks for more feedbacks and compliments that I received after my last reply. It's very kind of you all.

nmayhew, all my pics were taken in bright sunlight using no flash. The reason the Leopold's figures look shiny and glossy might have been because of a 6x8" mirror which I used as a reflex. May be I should not have used it, huh?.
In some case I think it helps, look at the MG-42 Gunner 1:9 in the same page, the first pic I didn't use the mirror and the figure's face looks blackened. The other three pics with the mirror on, the face looks clearer. Anyway, thanks for
your comments. I'll be more careful when using the mirror in the future.
