| ...the thing I really like about this suit is it looks like a mobile suit and you dont know how big the guy is next to that tree until you see the front and see a persons face looking out at you. The figure inside the suit has always been a cool surprise to someone like me who is tottaly used to watching giant mecha cartoons. |

Yeah, I really like the figures too. It's that human aspect that makes them appeal to me so much. I try to build all my models w/ crew, I think they are more visually interesting that way. You kinda feel for the guy, all cooped up in his armor like that.

This particular one is a ‘clock round' that I brought at a Michael's craft store. I stained it w/ Minwax Walnut wood finish, and then I sealed it w/ three coats of Minwax clear satin polyurethane from a spray can. I gave it a light sanding between coats so that it would be nice and smooth.
The dirt is Woodland Scenics' Mold-a-Scene Plaster, on an Evergreen sheet styrene circle to help hold it together (and to cover the hole in the clock round).
