Hey Model museum, On step 8 in the instructions for the gans, DO NOT use part c35 from the Krote parts tree. If you use this part, then the assembeled parts from step 6 will not fit! Just thought Id let you and all know ahead of time and save Y`all some headache.
Its that ring the krote turret fits on.

bbailey_33,
You should give yorself a big pat on the back. The figure does NOT suck. In fact I see he has eyes, shading, and some shadowing. You do good work even on the figure. I will always admire us modelers, we paint the pilots feet even thou no one will EVER see them.

If you like these Kits, Ive got some built and if you want to see some of them look into some of the older posts. Youll find them under pak krote and jerry, and skinhead and a mk3 raccoon.Cool [8D]

weathering was done with Rustall liquids and ground pastels, I notice a few clean areas more with the photos, I need to do some touch up :(

I do suck at figures, need more practice, but I guess I would be somewhat Happy to be drivin one of these too. I'm working on a Krote to be added to the finished diorama as an unmanned Shadow Drone programmed to stay at a preset distance and angle ahead of the control vehicle in order to take out the heavy resistance first.

p.s. I've only found these on eBay, and they're getting more expensive

Great job! I like the weathring and the chain gun! Most people do change that manipulator arm to something else.
I build ma.k and other armor kits, but mostly ma.k, even done some blechman too.
