Thanks Steve! :D

As I said: nothing is really finished figure-wise but I went through my huge heap of figure sets and came out with seven figure that fit the needed ones: a 5 men gun crew + 2 drivers.

The two relaxing blokes are of course MB, the binocular holding officer is a dragon figure as is the ugly elastolin-like diver who luckily will be invisible for the most part and the two orange ones are from Trumpeter and surprisingly well done.

7 figures :o :o :o

It would take me a lot longer that a year. :D

Will you rework some of the area where you removed the gear??

Certainly, this is all "beta" stage :lol: .

Oh well, since I really don't have anything better to do but to nurse my Chron's Disease and follow my hobbies, well... I might just as well do something amusing :lol: .

I like the camouflaged tarp Raoul. Did you use those decals from a previous build? Looks really good. :D

Thanks Shawn, Vincent! :D
The decals I sued for the splinter camo tarpaulin are some of my Shinsengumi decals I last used on the figures for my 2x251c diorama.

I made some little progress and while no one has a head yet, that can hardly keep everyone from throwing a pose for a little "concept art" :lol: =>

Yay! Still alive! ;)

Sorry I was a while away getting some medical procedure done but primarily moping :roll: :lol: .

I did however some work done for the prospective diorama, especially with the 251 and of course the figures (more mediocre, even in comparison to my last figures...).
That reminded me however: I put together a collection of all the uniform decals for you Steve! I have not forgotten, I was just...busy moping :oops: .
