Simply marvelous - loved how you have weathered them (showing the exposed edges, where paint would have worn off)

Glad you like them,the one I painted(MG carrier )for the add is a damaged casting and has only three of the original wheels .Its why there's a figure in front of the wheel,it's to hide the fact the wheels made of card.and isn't actually part of the set. The standing figure is from the series 3 Austins,
As you seem to intend on using it for VSF,you'll have no trouble replacing the heads as there designed to be conversion friendly,there's a little extra height in the soles of the boots so they can be cut away from their bases.Theres also far more ammunition belt from the boxes than required to reach the guns so you can achieve a more unique look .
