Love this pose, is this guy from the Dragon "Modern Snipers" right? I have that one on my shelf, it's a shame it's OOP...

But now that there's an in production version of a 1/35 M14 I'll be more at ease with putting my styrene one to use. Looking forward to seeing these figures with some paint, the weapons already look good!

Yep! Thats the one! I previously built kit ages ago, and picked another one up a couple of years ago and had it sitting around for a while. I am using the sitting one, and the one to the right of it, is the one with the M21 from the same kit. I have changed the torso and right arm.

 Figures will be done soon!

hey calvin. thanks for the comment.

I am eventually going to finish it! I am doing a heap of other stuff for the ses and cadets, that takes a lot of time!

The vehicle is the Mig productions BJ44 technical. I bought it around 4 years ago, but never built it as it was missing a part. I e-mailed Mig and got the part sent out, and finished it yesterday. Still have to paint and weather it, and the building. I'm not looking forward to making it look damaged! I was originally going to use it in another dio.

And i'm not looking forward to painting the marpat as well. thats the biggest thing thats taking a while. I need a full day to set up the paints, get the colors right, then paint. I'll spread the painting over a couple of days or a week.
