Hi Guys Been awhile since I've posted anything. Got a couple of new pieces done and busy taking pics this week.

First up is more of a conversion than a custom. Being in the US, I find it a bit restrictive getting my hands on all the pieces I really want so the only alternative I have is to build my own. Quite a few pieces for the Heavy Brigade fall under this category. This on started out as a dark green 1993 MOBAT and went through a few simple changes to get the desired result. I really wanted my fist Z-Force tank to look like the classic, and I gotta admit I was pretty stoked with the result.
I was able to buy a few MOBATS for Dirt cheap and the others with feature some more customizing as opposed to this version.
Process: Strip decals, Clean, Break, Base Coat, Color, Assembly, Decals & Done.

I'm needing a few spares to complete a bunch of the remaining stuff and will be making a little post in the wants/trade section so if you have some extras please take a look at the list, thanks. (Mostly Jeep & Shadowtrak spares)

Nice job, hard to tell from a Battle Tank.
Let me tell you, Gunner La-De-Dah Graham, the British Army can fight anything! Intimate or not!

As MArk say, hard to tell the difference, well done :)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

What green did you use? It really is spot on.

Hi Guys.

Did take awhile to find the right green >.< Ended up trolling through sites for graffiti paint. Found a supplier and got their catalogue. In the end was just lucky chance as I orded a few colors that looked right and it was the last one that I almost did not add (it looked too yellow) that ended up being an almost perfect match :D

Montana White - Cactus (synthetic glossy spray paint)

I'm running low and will be ordering a few cans soon so let me know if you want in and have issues ordering online.

Sending liquids to Aussie can be a problem. ;-) I've been planning a Battle Tank bash for a while, nothing like a little motivation.

Second to last vehicle for the River patrol :D

A little logistics vehicle designed to resupply the Patrol within the operational area. Also used in air-drop operations in conjunction with Command Group, Sky Watch and the Airborne Troops.

I'm trying to finish up a number of the other vehicles and need some spares. Please have a quick look at my wants list below and let me know if you have anything available for sale. Would also appreciate a head-ups on any sites that may be selling some of the items.
