Looks amazing in the snowy scenery. Great job - you've put a lot of effort getting this to be accurate!

An absolutely Herculean effort Louis, but the results speak for themselves. It's a beautiful, one-of-a-kind build; one to be proud of, no mistake.

The surface textures and weathering really bring the model to life, everything ties together really well. You've raised the bar again, so I'll be curious to see how you one-up yourself again.
