Sorry guys, it's taken me a week to reply.
Richard. I always liked this build now looks even better.
Thanks Scottie, I'm going to try to make it even better than better.
Even at this stage that is most impressive.
Hi Jim, looking at it again can be inspiring.
Good to this on the go again Richard.
Those trees look quite real
Thanks John, took some time looking at the palm fronds to get it right.
Excellent job on this Richard, the camo covers on the helmets are spot on. Good luck in the mini Comp. :thumb2:
Thanks Rick, I was seeing spots after the application.
Excellent!!
Andy
Thank you Andy.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi, there's some slight progress...
I painted two of the Type92 gun and chose worst molded one for the destroyed gun.

Remodelled the bunker opening with a sharp blade and tweezers. I got rid of the polystyrene interior with thinner solvent and a brush. Needs rubble and burnt stains.

Added two coconuts here...

Just dry fitted the back packs...painted an extra two. The Type92 gun was also dry fitted.

That's it so far...

Excellent Work on these "jarheads" Richard.....the brown side out camo covers and the ponchos look the "Bomb"! :thumb2:
And remember......."Wibbles" "Wobble" but they don't fall down! ;)

Thanks Rick but what doesn't fall down...I'm a bit thick in the head at the moment.

Thanks Paul...finished is a full stop I need to find...there's always something to add.

Thank you for the compliment Jim.

Apologise to the very slow progress. Been busy watching the tele or idiot box as some call it. I'm a victim of which project should I touch on.
Anyway I did do some more damage to the bunker with my drill to get it more natural with some heavy bullet pings. Trying to figure out an implosion and how the rubble would spread out of the aperture. After the satchel blast and flame thrower for good measure. So far no rubble yet.
