Thanks Tim, I do like to have space inside the vehicles for the figs. The
downside is that it makes them all a little too big scalewise. Building military
vehicles for me has been all about balancing scale, aesthetics and
functionality.

Hey thanks, I hope to build more in mountain camo eventually, but the main color

| 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.
