I got some paint and the decals on it this weekend. All the decals are custom made by me on computer decal paper and my home printer. I marked it as A23, 1-3 ADA, 3ID as I showed above.

Here it is so far.

Here is a close up of the “Psycho Ward” name and logo.

And the actual one.

I was able to take the above pic and strip out the actual logo using PowerPoint and its embedded picture manipulation software. I was able to strip away all the sand color and other items and was left with a black and white image that could then be sized appropriately.

Thanks Steve. Without your 3D designed and printed parts, it wouldn't look this good. Kudos to you as well.

With the long Easter weekend, I was able to wrap this one up. I added a bunch of gear to the exterior; duffle bags, rucksacks, and other gear for a crew of four. I also added ammo cans, water cans, a water cooler and various bags.

Once all the gear was on, I weathered it with a brown earth color, then picked out some high points to wear with a pencil to show bare metal, and then gave it a sandy wash. Lastly, I hit the bags lightly with an armor sand color drybrush.

For tracks, I used a set from one of Meng’s M2A3/M3A3 that I bought off eBay.

Here it is.
