Hi All,

 

Well doing this one has been more of a stuggle on decisions l can tell you.

 

As you know the Wolverine base was spot on WIDTH ways for 1/18th CVR(T). It was lacking a little in LENGTH.

 

Well with the Scimitar I got away with that,alas this time it`s been harder to do.

 

The main decision l`ve had with this custom is A, slimline it to look like a Spartan BUT not useable in the rear compartment or B, Do it 1/18th scale & have it look boxy.

 

Well as someone who likes to have playablitity with there collection,l went for B

 

So l know it looks boxy but l do want it to carry figures & by the way it will have 5 inside inc Crew,so only slightly off by 2.

 

Anyway here you go for updated photos
