Nothing like a new barrel on an M2 and a thunderstorm background to create drama . . .

I hope that he has his range card ready for that Ma Duece.

I did some touch up on the gnomes, painted Helmut's belt buckle and Carlos' ammo. Not worrying about the bases as they will be covered with garden dirt. All that's left is to build their defenses and flat clear coat them before I take the final pictures of them in their natural habitat for final photos . . . SWEET! SMILIES! I'll use this one even though it has no relevence, it's just awesome. :Shark:

So here are the CGGs in their natural habitat . . . the backyard battlefield. Initially I was going to build a sandbag emplacement for them, then I thought maybe a log bunker made of Lincoln Logs, but none were to be found. Then I spotted this nice rock formation that provides adequate cover and a nice field of fire for the .50 cal that covers the entire backyard. Unfortunately, the rocky terrain prevented the use of the small punji stakes that I planned on placing in front of them. Plus I don't think my wife liked the idea . . . :Bur2:

No punji stakes? What not? How could anyone object to punji stakes? :yahoo:


Ayway, nice work, that should scare the squirrels away!
