Great CASTING!
As for the splinter.. please add the fine dark green lines and maybe a green wash... but other then the lack of lines those are outstanding!

yeah i tried the green lines and they didn't turn out so i went on w/o them. i had to seal the paint on w/ modpodge b/c it kept getting rubbed off, not sure if i can add gren lines w/ the sealer on there. thats also why they are a bit shiny which i don't like either. maybe if i were to seal only the base coat...

MEDIUM, your fj's look great. i want to thank you again for the molds you gave me. I have produced 2 fully articulated tankers and 3 fully articulated fj's. I can't wait to show em to you. As far as the splinter lines go, an easy solution is to go to hobby lobby or somewhere and purchase a hunter green micron pen preferably .5 or smaller. Very good results from these microns and they dont rub off.

It looks pretty sweet.
How was it to put together ?

Thanks for the comments everyone! hey PH great kit man thanks. it was easy enough to put together, it took me awhile to get it sanded and painted and i still have some touch up and stuff. I'm wondering if i should add some decals... if they fit? and it needs some weathering... ahhh painting takes me forever sometimes

Mediump,
Why do you have your kick stand down ?
Does the rig want to move or flip over ?

yeah oops... the only reason it was down was because I had just finished gluing it together the night before and forgot about it, it stands up fine w/o it, no sag
Thanks PH
