That looks about as realistic as you’re going to find them, I’d say.

Many thanks Jakko, pleased you like it, it looks better in the flesh.

I was thinking: what would it look like if you were to photoshop it into a real background? Chances are it’d be very hard to tell it’s not a real M113.

I might try that once I get it finished.

Update.
The wheels are now attached,

and ready for weathering with pigments....
The tracks are now complete and will be fitted once the wheels are weathered.

And a close up....

Then it will be onto the base which has been painted ready for the ground work and placing the model on.

Update,
First, Many thanks for your kind and encouraging comments, many thanks for viewing and leaving a 'Like'.
The 113 is now on its tracks, and here are a few more pics of the build.




Couple of detail pics...


There is still more details like straps to add, which will be completed over the next week or so.
The base is now under construction, the felt on the bottom has been added and the Tetrion paste is in the well for the groundwork.
Now the next time you view this will be in the completed models section, but I will put a teaser on here to let you know it is completed.
Mike.

Hi Mike
I honestly can't think of what to say. Choose any superlative you like and it would describe this model. Looking forward to the finished dio.

Quick update,
The base is now under construction and is drying out before i start on the ground work, it will not be exceptional.
Now adding the final straps and bits to the vehicle so another week should see the end of this one.
Once again, many thanks to you all for your comments and likes, and I will let you know when it is in the 'Completed' section.
Mike
