Steve - the figures look good apart from the ATS lass on the box art
Looks like she hit every branch when she fell out the ugly tree!
Does it look that bad in reality - can’t really tell from your photo

You're for it now Mr. T!! The women's Libbers are gonna come after you with a vengeance! Probably give you a good one right up around the ear hole......She is a homely looking "Brute" though. Pity the lad that has to ride "Shotgun".

Tilly back from the paintshop :smiling3: , started with a black base coat them white , desert yellow and the blue added at very low pressure using a splatter mask (Ak interactive vinyl superb by the way). Then a top coat of blue misted on to blend everything together. Desert yellow was airbrushed on at about 5psi, which is to low as it splatters the paint on, but handy for flicked up dirt, dust.

The truck bed had a coat of yellow sprayed in then a coat of chipping fluid, followed by a top coat and then scrubbed back to reveal the wooden boards;

Nope she may not be the prettiest Rose in the garden, but she is doing a sterling job.

Ooh yes, looking very nice indeed Steve.

Thanks Pete,
The face sculptures are not the best I have seen from pawel, shame as the rest of the figure is very well sculpted/ moulded, but would have expected more for the costs involved. Definitely no where near the quality of the Hornet heads. But it is what it is.
