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.

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.
