I allways loved the Verlinden figures although they are a bit too big. They say its 1/35 but I reccon its 54mm. As I could obtain the gendarme cheap lately I had to give the man a role.

maybe you take a pic of your model as teaser, it is definitely worth it. I find pic 4 and 11 so far the most impressive.

Thanks to all! It was a nice build. Finishing up with some figures and a simple base.

Album info

As I was building the M8 HMC I was also intriged to build an M7, as on the decalsheet from Stardecals for the M8 were already the decals for Baboon.
The deepwading features got my eye and as I could obtain a Big Ed (Eduard) for the M7 including deep wading gear it was a go.
It seemed Baboon (and some other M7's) were slightly different, like the cast nose and the M3A1 halftrack mineracks at the side.
