LT, that's a gorgeous kit mate! I love the cargo bags and the straps on the gas cans...aftermarket?

Excellent work as always LT. I am especially impressed with the poses of the figures - very relaxed - very real.

Gas cans were left over Dragon stuff, in the back is a mix bag of old Verlinden
and new Italeri asessories.

Re: Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

I've just a couple models under my belt, but I've started a spare parts bin. I like that you can glean parts not used on other models and aftermarket orders, and really make a current kit look so much more amazing. Just one of the many valuable (and cost effective) lessons I've learned from all of you!

Re: Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

Ok Boys...the deadline is fast approaching! For Those of you who are DONE....get 2 (two) good shots of your model (Please make then as CLEAR as possible pictures....you are showing off your work!) You can PM the pics to myself or Geek....who will get them to me. Please make your pics in 800x600 format.....if you do not know how to do this I will do it but you will have to Email them to me (PM me for addy)

Not real sure how LT was going to do the judging, but I will open a forum wide vote (poll). If there is a tie....Cyberia has the tie breaker vote. I would like to see all the pics in before May 17, but, if anyone is not done...don't despair! You will have a WEEK'S grace period before I put em all up for the vote.

Sidenote: If I get pics I feel can be improved in my Photoshop....I will PM YOU FOR PERMISSION to make any changes (Ie: if the color don't look right, or the contrast can be lightened etc....but, I CAN'T perform miracles and make it look REALLY GREAT or take out any mistakes you may notice after you take the pics....(Guilty as charged! I did this myself in my last ACG build LOL!) )

Eager to see everyone's work! And Good Luck you guys!

Re: Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

I can't wait to see these! What a challenging build this was. Just finding a kit that old was hard enough, but dealing with old kit plastic must have been difficult on some of these. I'd actually like to know if, and what, were some of the more notable issues any of you had with older kits...good knowledge base material here!

Good on you PM...I hadn't thought about this. I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody has done too...
I think the poll suggestion is okay. If anybody needs my email address they can PM me too. Here to help.
