Thanks guys. I am just hoping that I can get the figures to blend in with the crew as I will be "frankensteining" the crew from different sets of figures. Big Smile [:D]

I like the ambush dio. I was wondering if you thought about applying some foliage along the barrel and a little on the shields to help blend it more. J

Actually it is already in the works... Wink [;)]

BTW, glad to hear your okay over there. Smile [:)]

Hello.
Great model , you must be a " Tanker" at heart . Your model , is in what us "tankers" call , a " Hull Down" ,( I.E. partially cancealling the vehicle ( the hull),behind a berm , or ridge) , and using the surrounding vegetation to breakup its outline. Keep up the great work , and thanks for sharing with us!

Well some really bad weather last week and a two-day out of town assignment kept me away from the workbench for 5 days. Although I have started on the base for the hornisse, I was not really able to do much work. I am still adding some stowage, antenna and tarp as well as working on the figures. I am also trying to incorporate some changes as suggested in the other thread.
