Hi Magnus,
I love how you manage to get ample space for your figs in these models. It's a
really nice touch in such detailed models. They're all great models without it
and it just adds that extra touch. I might steal your idea of using the new 4x4
wedge tile for a hatch in my T-104.

This one is my favourite. It's just got a really nice shape to it. I'm also a
sucker for snow camos so it really tickles me.

Althought I can appreciate the difficulties of fitting the suspension in I think
I would have just left it off this one and made it smaller. It's just that
little bit too big for my tastes.
