Good point! will remember that when I make him up, guess I gotta make him now. sorry about crappy pics, will shoot a bunch when all done and put up only the best. Working on base now "muddy field" their feet will get proper dirty and then final Earth weathering to blend all in. Thanks for your kind attention Jim :smiling3:

Sorry folks , was hoping to have this one done, but since I could not gather proper soil from outdoors {ground frozen} I decided to use some crappy potting soil from the Mrs. gardening stuff. I figured how bad could it be? I'll just sift it out and go on from there - well IT SUCKS!! I will either try to salvage what I got or start over. In mean time am building a Semovente SPG :oops:

I've always wanted the Tamiya semovente. Pity about the soil, I've never heard about an issue harvesting dirt...sure you don't live in Alaska? :P

We've actually climbed out of the sub-zero F temps, hoping to get above freezing temps and melt a few feet of this snow off soon!:rolleyes: Semovente is a nice little model {Tamiya} will be out soon
