Nice work, very impressive! Say, can you give some idea on how to make camo-netting to cover field vehicles and troops on 1/72 scale?

Thanks, I started out modeling 1/72 but needed more room so switched to the smaller scale which doesn't nearly afford the amount of detail like you have going there. Great job.

Is it fun to drive it?
Did you ask the passengers? Big Smile [:D]

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks!

Figures are from Esci old series.I just carefully paint them and make some shadows with oils.
If you look closely to the "Rambo style" guy at first pic,you'll see that he has a Tiger stripe camo!!! Big Smile [:D]
