The netting (dryer sheet) has a very cool affect. How do you attach - CA glue?
Great work as always, appreciate the postings!

Happy Independence Day to you traitors and ungrateful Colonials.

Nice work, Chris! I particularly love the radar! Well done! BTW, I'm following your work on the Space Marines on that other website and those guys look great too!

Cool work - looks like your basing your rig here? Normally you don’t base right? Just contemplating what to do with my trailers. Keep posting!

Burt, thank you, glad you like it. Correct, normally I do not base. With trailers or a command-commo group want to base. I have gone with the clear plastic one would get tools in a package. I have used two layers at times if really flimsy, with glue in between and glue wheels, and perhaps ramp. Makes it stronger. The plastic is much thinner than bass/balsa wood. I prime black usually. I may or might not color up, grass -gravel. Sometimes I try to cut real close to edge of trailer. If the base sticks out, I try to cut at a 45 degree angle.
Mike, thank you sir, appreciate it.

Start camo on these CV-9040.
One group will be in 3-tone NATO. The other group will be in ‘Baltic Camo’.

Nice Chris! I love the artillery! The colors on the PzH 200 looks great for NATO to me. I like the lighter tan color too.I'm not familiar with German camo colors to know if it fits a specific pattern, but it looks really cool for some more arid climtes.
