    [/QUOTE]Hi Greg I have made a start on the Vickers but they need a lot of work. The ones that came with the Black dog set went straight in the bin they were worse than the Tamyia offerings .[/QUOTE]
    I've noticed that Resin guns are not that perfect... there is only one company that i find extraordinary... live resin..

        Hi Brad,
        I have ordered some different ammo. Because as you can see it is very flat. No you mention it I should have probably tried to round it of a little nut I guess it's one of those things where etch is not necessarily the best option.

          Greg,
          I have looked at their website and decided to order a .50 they do appear to be nicely made.

            Hi Pete, Glad you like it but not sure I am 100% happy with it especially the ammo belt

                  Hi Brad the .50 in the picture is the ET offering it is ok, but not happy with it but in fairness I think that is down to my construction and not so much the kit. The next will be the live resin offering I have never used them before but they look good on their website. When it turns up I will post some pictures.

                    Si, Thanks for the kind words and stopping by, they are not cheap and I have broken my own rules on after market stuff on this but you have to push the boat out now and then and they original jeep was cheap.

                      Hello for those are still following and aren't bored to death yet. I have started adding the clutter the other stuff is ready for painting. Some of the clutter I will have to add a little later as it hangs from the jerry can racks.
                      The straps are made from foil. Anyway enough waffle let me know what you think and any suggestions to improve.

                          Its funny that we impose these rules on ourselves, but rarely stick with em. Don’t worry though, we all do it!
                          On a recent online shopping spree, I told myself “just paint, nothing else” ......so what started out as a couple of new paints, soon turned into two new model kits, 10+ new paints, decal fixers, some enamel washes and thinners.....ooops:tongue-out2:

                          Love the stowage....very neatly done :thumb2:

                              Hi Scottie
                              Loving the clutter. The 50 cal looks great. Interested in how the Live Resin compares.

                                Looking good. The "crapintheback" is what separates the ho-hum from the exceptional. Carry on. PaulE
