1/35 FJ43 with DShKM

The driver and the boss seem tense, while the two goobers in the back are having a good time:

The driver & the Boss know where they're going.

The goobers in the back were too busy getting smashed on hash to bother attending the pre-mission briefing.

And they're posing for the news crew filming them...

Almost done - just needs a few extra details:



I didn't weather the vehicle as much as I had in mind, but this looks OK:

The tartan decal was easier to attach than expected. Unfortunately the patterns will be  mostly hidden, but at least we know they're there.

Do we know if it's a Clan Tartan or purely a generic one ?

Clan McZink
🤣

You cannot view this attachment.

Of course, seeing as the entire "Clan Tartan" thing is a 19th century Sassenach invention that's
been pushed by purveyors of tartan tat and pseudo-genealogical coats of arms, family histories etc.,
it can be called plain old plaid.

I'm done with this one, and so are our happy friends, somewhere in Afro-Asia.

 I bent a strand of plastic fiber optic and attached it to the FPV drone and left fender. I tried a using a cat whisker shed by one of our cats, but it wasn't strong enough to hold up the drone:



With the fiber optic strand photoshopped out:





The commander/boss man spotted the drone - the driver just registered it in his peripheral vision. The goobers in back are blissfully unaware:





The FPV drone is 3D printed from  SPALAH "FPV drone Mark (7inch) with battery and suspension"



It's very detailed. I painted the batteries light blue, with black electrical tape holding it to the drone. The 3D print even has the camera in the nose. The mortar round is painted in some variant of Russian green:



Pretty tiny on my index finger.

Oo, that's going to leave a mark... not sure it'll buff out as easily as all that... 

You may have started a trend in dioramas/vignettes...

Nice touch though; it has a little more impact (sorry) than just the vehicle careening around on a base. 

[Old Wombat]

Great finish, Frank!     

Detail on that drone is exceptionally good!   

[NARSES2]

Terrific job on that Frank   

That drone is tiny

[Wardukw]

Absolutely lovely bit of work bud...a great build indeed
