Global Scale Modeller

All you YouTube guys probably know about this M113 Group Build hosted by Mark and Jim. This is my finished entry, and since the GB was all about the '113 and its many diverse users and variants I thought I should go with one of the weirdest users - NASA. They have 3 of these they use to bring the fire fighters in and the astronauts out. This is the pre-2000 scheme

The weathering looks a bit peculiar in some places (like the chipping on the lower front hull) but that's how it is on the real vehicle! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but what really bugs me is my iffy filling of all the ejector pin marks that were on every interior surface (the back door had 13!) It was my first time filling them, I guess I'd better practice...
