Cheers Ian it's the first sig build I've been in

Well its in the SIG section, and I have left a redirect from the old location so you can find it again.

The only real rule for the SIG builds, and the Group Builds are that the first post includes the box top shot, which is there, and a shot of the sprues, which you are excused as you where not starting the build as a SIG.

I know it's kind of obvious, but the process of moving through a build is fascinating. At the the moment that looks like a green plastic toy, but in a few days or so, it'll be looking like a perfect scale replica of something used in the Vietnam jungle.

Great weathering John, very subtle & lifelike which is just right. I don't know about 70's pin-ups, I was an 80's teenager! Maybe a Hendrix poster?

Have a look here, maybe there's something that'll do
