Hi All

In 2889 while on patrol in sector 325-A in the harsh desert regions of Australia CPL Wayne Nash of the Strahl National Defence Army becomes seperated from his unit after coming under attack from a Mercenary unit. He starts moving back thru the open desert trying not to over heat his suit which has seen better days.

CPL Nash decides he has no other choice but to start RETURNING FIRE at the Mercenary unit to try and avoid being captured or even worse killed in this hell hole of a region.

RECIPE

GUSTAV - Is from a model company called WAVE corporation and was built straight from the box, I was very happy with this kit as the detail is execellent and all the parts went together well with little to no effort what so ever. The only modifications I made was to the head, I swapped out the kit head and replaced it with a 1/18 scale head from a WW2 German action figure. Once I was happy with the position of the figure and painted it using Vallejo, Games Workshop piants and pastels.

Base - The base is a piece of foam core cut out to the desired shape. Once the figure was painted it was then glued onto the base and then putty was used to build op the groun work, I mixed washed river sand and small rocks togther and then added that to the putty while it was still wet.

Once the snad and stone mixer was added I then cut up a 205LT drum from Hasbro's Indiana Jones German Jeep playset and added that to the base. Once it was all dried I used Vallejo and pastels to paint and weather the ground and drum, I then got some dried roots from the garden and put them inplace by drilling holes into the base and inserting the roots.
