    While admiring your progresses I had a certain KC and the Sunshine Band hit humming in my mind... :thumb2:

        The .50 cal is done. The body is from the spares box and the etch is voyager and a nice set to boot. The ammo belt which you cant see is from the AA resin set.

        The kits offering for the gun mount was terrible so had no choice but to make one so 18 pieces later I cam up with this it should look ok with a bit of paint on.

          That .50 cal is amazing. Loving the stowage. Well worth taking time to get it looking natural.

                I'm amazed at your stamina Paul to accomplish this. Plenty of times I sit down at the workbench but end up just contemplating instead... and I'm mostly OOB building

                  The 50cal. mount is amazing. The CITB is perfect. This project is really something.

                    Ron, believe me I am amazed as well. I have spent quite a while debating whether to finish or call it a day and then I think well I've come this far.

                    cheers Paul I must admit I am happy with the mount it's not perfect but a fair representation.

                        I'm happy to be witnessing your ascension to Tony Greenland - level. It'd be a crime against Humanity to cover all this work with paint once it's done Paul.

                              You should check his book review written by Gray Creager over on Track-Link back in 1996, it's right up your alley Paul.

                                Well Paul, I'm lost for words.
                                You must have the most amazing eyesight and steadiest hands in the land.
                                Truly amazing work.
                                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
