I added some mini manuals I got from eBay. I made the wood crate. And put 2 82nd’s in it.

I am pretty proud of how it came out. Let me know what you think, and I will answer any questions.

Some simply exquisite detailing in there. :clap: The harder, and deeper one looks, the more astounding the visual effects become. :thumbup:

Clearly, you're truly adept at turning styrene into familiar objects; like engines, for instance :O :thumbup: In fact, I'd go so far as to say you're something of a styrene Maestro.
The forum thrives on your sort of expertise :thumbup:
