Nice, simple layout, with excellent builds. I give it a big thumbs up.
On a side not, if you have any comments on your command post vehicle, I would be happy to hear them. I have wanted to build one for a while.

The M4 Bradley Command Post.
WOuld I be correct in assuming you started with an MLRS kit, or is it completely scratch? And just wondering if you had any tips on making one, or what (if any) parts gave you trouble.

The chassis is the 270M chassis used from the MLRS from revell and the rest is scratchbuilt out of cardboard, from the box, that the model came in. I didn't use styrene as I did not have enough money to buy some. So I decided to test out using the empty box of another model to build the command shelter. This was suppose to be an experiment but I like it so I decided to keep it
Some pics I used for the references didn't show a lot of upclose details so it was pretty hard to verify everything. The antennae part was the hardest because of not enough detail pics. so I had to make something that looked close to the one in the pics I was modelling. Overall it came out okay. The hardest part was getting everything lined up correctly as to sit on the chassis.

Ok, before I would have said it looked amazing. Now that I know its mostly cardboard.....amazing just isnt good enough. I thought it was styrene or plastic, it really does look it. Wow. I would say it came out more than ok lol, especially for an experiment.
