Outstanding. I didn't even notice the missing and neglected details you described, but I think this dude ^^ does...

Disastermaster,

Thank you very much! I am  by no means fluent in French (just enough to be imprisoned) but, it does sound nice. Big Smile. Since I was working with a fair number of new mediums, I had to come back to the bench a fair number of time with "fresh eyes"  .  Two steps forward and one and a half back. Embarrassed

Pawel,

Thank you so very much for the compliments.  It was a nice feeling to get this one across the finish line.  Even then that wasn't rushed. Obviously.  I looked it over for a while and then decided "Yup, it's done"  Now what do I want to build?  I am glad to hear that you enjoyed watching this build.  I have had a good day and, may you have one as well.

Hercmech,

Thank you for looking in on this build and for the compliments.  I've taken a lot of notes on this and other forums, picked a lot of peoples brains, sought out second sets of eyes.  "a master at work"? I've been called many things but a "master"?  Thank you for the compliment but, I'm not quite sure about the master part.  The more I learn, the less I know.  The details are the result of bringing all these meduims together.  It really is amazing how many mediums our hobby touches. You are most welcome for the sharing.

Thank you sir. Actually, the dust on the vehicle is the same as what's painted on the road.  It looks much better in person.  The pics did not pick up the sublety of this very well.  Photography is not my strongest suit.

SprueOne,

Thank you very much for the complement.  I didn't notice the neglected details either but, the digi cam certainly did not miss them.  Ol' Three Fingered Jack most certainly wasn't happy about it.  There was an overhead shot of him (I haven't posted it) that makes it look like his left hand has only three fingers.  This figure was one of three from a Firestorm British tanker set.  I had originally planed to use a different figure until I realized that it wasn't going to fit the commanders hatch.  That one will be used for a Tasca Firefly Vc that is in the line up to be built.

Thank you again gentlemen for looking in on this build.

Cheers

Dave

With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine.

What I can say?  It has been a great WIP since it started seven months ago.  And it is a perfect build for FSM magazine cover. Yes

Andy,

Wow! Thank you for the vote of confidence!  I'll submit it and run it up a flag pole and see if it flies.  

Cheers Beer
