Thanks guys.

V-02 gets it's cross bar, a tricky little piece. The plastistrip is too thick for bending, I briefly considered thinner and laminating it, in the end I did this thickness but added a little milliput to the inside corner. I let it set and then shaped it with the wrong end of a file to give an inside curve. None of this can be seen in the photo... :blush:

Slatting on V-05 the short uprights at the rear are not that well fixed, luckily there's tons of stowage to follow which will make all stronger.

Slatting on V-04, although this has a canvas top there is slatting underneath that. Had to make sure the slatting was far enough away from the vehicle edge to allow for this, and do similar to V-05 to make them look similar.

Very cool project!

Amazing work so far with the rides, all of them will look fab when you are finished, I'm sure.

Thanks.

Needed a couple of bits, so made a motorbike helmeted head and a rolled karrimat. The head needs tidying and the roll is for the bottom of rucksacks.

Found a figure for the reporter, put a helmet on, ebay flak vest, pen in his hand

and a pad in his other hand

Also put TAG helmets on the recon marines who started off with boonie hats.

Sorry, not sure what you're asking.

love the reporter

think he is asking where you got the flak vest from, tho by pic you obviously made it

Poiter50 · « **Reply #69 on:** March 20, 2015, 12:44:03 AM »

Exactly. When I first saw it, I thought - Ah, a scratchbuild but you wrote" ebay flak vest" so I thought you found a source on ebay.

Ahhh, okay. In the first episode a couple of Marines help the reporter get his kit sorted including a ropey looking flak jacket, they ask him where he got it from and he answers "ebay".

Great job Phil!

Ah, now I understand. I have yet to see the show sadly.

I highly recommend it, ranges from touching and quite sad to hilarious in places. Based on a book by Evan Wright who was an embedded journalist for Rolling Stone. It's not only masterful as part of the genre but also as a film/mini-series in it's own right.
