Thanks chaps ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Well the long and the short of it is..............that`s about the only one i can get to use so i`m not gonna mess about with the others, the figures themselves are crap!!!, i`m just gonna go with the vehicle so i`m sorry about that............i`ll end up getting the hump with it and i`m not gonna beat myself up trying to force the issue..........i`d rather see this thru to completion rather than end up with another bloody shelf queen all because of figures.

You're in control chap, I'm sure you make it an eyecatcher, in fact it already is. You say the figures are crap, dam! What exactly is the problem with them brotha?

Loads of flash and the facial details are poor and the fit isn`t great either mucker...........i`m not going to waste money buying Hornet heads for them, maybe on a different vehicle they can be rescued but not on this one, the poses are of no use at all........you can`t fit anything in the hatch with the .50 cal, one has his hands in his pockets but the sleeves didn`t reach the pocket!!!, one looks like he`s been on crack cocaine and stands like a zombie..........you get the ghist, had the poses been a bit more animated i would have had a couple free standing but they just don`t suit what i want to be honest Guybro ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Dam that sucks Boots. Today my Miniart figure sets arrive and if they really are so crap I won't buy them any longer. I hope I can save them with a sculpting mania.

Tommy............Mini-Aaaaargh!!, i`ve used them before and they were pretty good but these really suprised me how bad they were!, as i said they may be suitable for somat else just not this particular build. Guybro.........probably in the hands of a proffesional like yourself they would be ok but for someone that rely`s on a decent base to work with they are out of my comfort zone ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Ok........a small update.. Some more weathering on the lower hull, cable added etc...i still have a little bit more to do such as the remainder of the tracks at the rear and the rear deck and sides...........that just leaves the turret and some more groundwork.
