Hi,
Really nice build, Did you put all the guts in the interior?

Fantastic Job Keith. Great paint job. What model did you use and how did you detail it.

Hi Keith
Excellent work, color is my weakness. I have been trying to work in color progress. But the really hard.
Thanks for sharing

Keith,

First time seeing something like this! Distinctive, fascinating and interesting modern day Israeli vehicle. Wrong neighborhood to be flying around in if you’re not welcome there! I like how you dressed the vehicle up with the sandbags. Super job! Nice touch with the base, I like that too.
