Robbie's customs

Post by pickelhaube » Sun Aug 02, 2009 9:14 pm

Here are some of my buddies' custom projects.

Robbie was the driving force behind my M-113 project and a few others.

I hope you guys enjoy thes customs as much as I did seeing them in real life. To bad I could only spend a few hours in his studio.

I was like a kid at Christmas time :D :D :D

What does he use to give the soldiers that 'gritty' look? Also, what does he use on the tanks for the worn on dirt look?

The Soviet truck is probably the best of all, though he has done some outstanding work bringing the vehicles to life with all that stowage goodies. Thanks for sharing.
