Marco, much appreciated kind fellow  . The fuel/oil stains still need a bit of work yet though  . Steve, many thanks to thee too sir . The fading of the paint per AB paid of this time, the oilage just brought it all together . Pete, cheers mucker . Boots, praise well appreciated matey . Carl, your first choice of words I like best . Okay chaps before I carry on with the vehicle I decided to have a go at the shapeless looking Soviet backpacks from the 70's. This is only the start, I used Green Stuff to get the basic shapes. There's a tiny white card button added to the front pocket, and straps will probably come from Tamiya tape. Not too sure if I like the tops yet, might chop them off and add new ones or try and scrape some better shape and folds in there when hardened.  |

Pure filth!!! I like it  You can see why they only built one of these things, that cannon has got to be top heavy! The rucksacks are looking good, I agree about the top closure area, I think if you were to use a scalpel blade and gently scribe/sculpt some stronger definition it will transform them even further! |

Looks very good from here, the other side of the ocean...  Seriously now: The tops are looking good. After some paint, shadows, dry brushes, they will be great! |

Plenty of packs there mate, if you can't get the shape of the tops right perhaps use some lead foil or kitchen foil & mr surfacer to get the pleated look

Pete, thanks for the tip mucker . I reckon I have gotten them sorted though, I cut around and used a tooth pick to get some shape in there. They're now painted and awaiting further attention . Guy, many thanks indeed my friend . Looking forward to you guiding through some beers soon . Carl, that's what I am now hoping to do fella , cheers mushty . Ian, much appreciated ole chap . I have added the jerry cans to the beast, these got a good beating beforehand though  .    The treads of the tyres have been drybrushed with anthracite Revell 09 enamel.  And the sights and front glazing got a coat of Humbrol enamel 1325 clear green, the headlights a coat of VMS gloss, the front side lights a mix of Revell aqua transparent red and orange and the tail lights a coat of Ferrari red also from Revell Aqua   Mores soon chapsies, ACACW |

Great stuff, the tops look loads better, more detail and definition.
