Academy M981 FISTV, 1991 Desert Storm
So I finally finished up with the figures on Christmas Day and took the multi angle photos on Thursday…

Very nice and very impressive work. What a way to end the year.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Figures help so much with armor. Great addition. I really like the family pic - some really nice work there.
What is the one in the top left with the turret?

I really like that, Carlos. 
Very nice work on your latest, and of course, I love that group pic! What a great collection!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Bravo! With such attention to details! Wow! Is the pilot or driver figure fully seated? Both hands seem to be in a grasping position but are slightly raised from the rim of the access hatch or port. His left hand being partly raised seems to work as though beginning a gesture, but his right arm and hand seem to be resting on air. This jumps out at me due to the macro close shot. I hasten to add that the stowage is simply amazing to see in such detail and obeying the laws of gravity. Kudos, sir.

This one really came together, Carlos. The dust and dirt are excellent.

I am loving all these amazing models! Your latest one is truly a masterpiece that really comes alive with the crew and stowage!

Now that is a cracking build. The figures really add to it - their camo is very nicely done!
Loving the family shot - is that an ITV behind the FIST?
