The figure's perfect pose in the turret looks superb.

Wow, that looks great again!! And as for which decals to use .... on another site someone is building this kit as well, and he got a different set of Echelon decals... 
and as he asked Echelon if they hadn't made a mistake, het got an answer with this picture on which that set is based on...  |

Stunning figure Pete-Meister  . Bert that might be worth some research, would like to know exactly what unit it was and what they were thinking  |

The flesh tones are great.
The sunglasses, was that by accident or design, or have you not done them yet? To me they look like trendy, modern sunglasses. I do like the look of them.

Never seen that particular marking Bert or for that matter decals for it. However I've got enough choices as it is so will limit myself to what I have. Tommy not done the sunglasses yet I'm going to try and paint a funky gold colour I think & the flesh is just the base coat at the moment.

Bert that might be worth some research, would like to know exactly what unit it was and what they were thinking  That was on Kitmaker , a US oriented site, lots of veterans on it, and no-one knew anything about this unit/vehilce/markings... all very surprised it even excisted, according to the majority there it would never be allowed.. |

Pete, the figure looks awesome and great paint work on the Guardian itself. I had never seen those Echelon Decals before and was surprised that unit got away with that. Apparently the vehicle was from the 1-221st Cavalry and was a "DAK retro scheme."

Brilliant figure painting Pete , the sunglasses really set him off nicely B) He adds a scale reference to the kit too |

Here's the figure finished. Knocked up a mic for the helmet & cable then painted the sunglasses with chrome followed by copper. Next will be decals for the model.   |
