Thanks Gary. I think you may be right. There has been a couple of other parts that have come loose for no reason.

Thanks Ian, that's right, nothing that can't be fixed! :P

This should be finished tonight apart from the base :)

Hello chaps,

Some more pics...

I have given the gun a dry brush of light grey as i wanted to give it a faded effect from a tropical environment. Also dirtied up the tyres. I will add more dirt once it is on the base so as to blend the gun into the ground. I should add some streaking from the rivets and such. Not sure if i want to add any chipping effects to this. Any suggestions for final weathering please?

Just noticed i haven't done the inside of the barrel yet. Still have to fix the crack in the gun cradle too :roll:

Wow Woody
That looks Great.
The light dry brushing has realy lifted the effect of ageing.
Just Love that camo scheme.

I too, wouldn't do anything more to this apart from the things you've mentioned Woody? Looks good! :)

Magic work. Looks for me simply perfectly. Now small scratches and I am completely happy ;)

Wow Woody looks great, I agree with Alek though, a few small scratches, I mean come on nothing survives being handled by squaddies unscathed, no matter how careful they try to be. Mind you don't want to spoil that great cammo!
