Please tell us that is not you on the roof flyboy. Really like the custom. Not too many blown up tanks and halftracks here.

really? Cool! You should share some pics and tips with us, I've been really interested in doing a burnt out Mark IV but I'm not sure how to make it realistic and not look like a little kid threw it in the fire. :roll:
