Looking pretty good. I like version 1 better. It fits them better. Version 2 looks too big and chunky and doesn't lay well.

Looking good, David. You indeed do have nice scratchbuilding skills. I'll show my pilot when he got his Eduard PE seatbelts.

Hi Guys,

I will be updating this thread tonight.

Figure painting IS NO FUN... had a hard time getting the eyes and the uniform colour correct...

David, in this case I have to disagree with you... I think your painting skills are quite ok. I especially like the painting on the figures! Looking good so far!

It doesn't look too bad from what I can see in the pictures. The pics are pretty bad though, can you take some better ones? If you don't have a good light setup, outside in daylight works pretty well. Do you have a camera with a macro feature? Using it improves the pics greatly as well.

Hi Guys, I am back after 2 weeks in the field.

Gino, I will be taking nicer pictures with my friend camera this week.

Mean while, I will resume work on the two M113 namely IDF fitter and Zelda.

Stay tuned.

Hey David, nice to have you back. Did you have a good service? I've worked on a UH-72 Lakota in the last few days. Goin' to post some pix when it's done. Cheers!

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the well wishes. Well, I was awarded the top 10% performing soldier award for the two weeks of training.

Updates later.
