Hey Lance,
Excellent work on your LRRP unit. Very nice to see a Tigerstriped uniformed squad.
Also love the boonie with the upturned brim that`s a very touch.

Have you thought about doing them with more added articulation at all?

Since I am going toi be doing a number of custom 101st projects I thought I would turn this thread in to a catch all. I will post pictures form the different porjects at different stages so if there are any ideas that you guys think would look good on any projects let me know. This one is my first :D

The starting phase of my custom M113 I took the cupola off a m-48 (thanks to caesarbc!), let me know what you think. As you can tell this is no where near being complete.

It is a Patton dog!!! :lol: I was wondering if anyone would notice him! I play a stupid game with that dog and put him in almost every Evilbay 1/18 loose listing. I am surprised at how many people ask about him. Sillly I know but it's something to do....

Lance again mate great work & WOW what a project too.

A fair bit of stripping still to be done to the m113 but that is certainly going to look bloody awesome,moreso with that turret added :D

Here are some update photos of my M113. She has been striped down to the basics. As you can see I have started to fill most of the body holes. Hopefully I will get some sanding done in the next few days.

*Side note* I don’t want the storage bags that originally were attached to the top and side, so if anyone wants them let me know. Who ever wants them can have them for free.

Looking good so far. I will watching this thread for updates as I have a M113 ready to be modified as well. Was the M48 cupola easy to remove?
