M-113 bodging - part 4

My trio of M-113s is complete.  Here they are during field* testing in the company of an M-60A1
Finished as US Army vehicles, they have fallen victim to my version of the MERDC camo scheme.
The vehicles are 1/48 scale - here they are with some 1/35 scale Tamiya infantry.


* Garden actually, but who's counting?

    Cheers,

    Thanks - the camo paint hides quite a lot!

    'Box-o-grunts'? Not that you have anything against infantry...

    WOW! These look fantastic. The MERDC really does them justice. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the pics of the polyurethane being cut - but they have turned out beautifully.
    Really good job sir. A steady hand, a decent knife and patience, really does them justice.

    Hmm. The only one I have is the decent knife....

    Ticks all the boxes, Tim; they look like a proper shop-bought one at a distance, but you can see the hand-crafting close up.

    Regards, Chris.

    Thanks Chris - if they were too good they might not offend people!

    Like I said above, camouflage hides a lot!
