Thanks. I am going to put at least a commander figure in it. I just haven't had the time to do him yet.

Jason,

I really like this cat. You did an excellent job on those vinyl tracks. Weathering is very good and not overdone. I thought that you were going to pop some figures in this build, considering your posts from about a month ago! Anyway, really impressive work buddy!

thanks guys. I think I have the sag with Vinyls down. I drill a few holes in the hull and glue some straightened paper clips in there poking out just enough to reach about half way across the track. They get painted the same color as the tracks and get tucked into the track joints. A little superglue on the tops of a few wheels and thats about it. much quicker than indies, if you are in a time crunch (shameless plug of the Totally Insane 1/35th build)

Really sweet Jason. You did a nice job on the track sag also, pretty tough for vinyl. I also like your cammo.

Thanks. I used some techniques picked up from Moses and wbill76 (Thanks guys!). Once I was done beating it up, I dusted Tamiya buff over everything to tone it down.

Thanks, mike. The kit is wonderful! Goes together so easy. I still need to add the driver to it and tone down the wash on the hatch doors.
