Nope. Those images are in the sub folder. I did the same thing DB (Da
Beast)
did and checked for sub folders. Voila, there she be.

Oh, the Marder is a good one! My fave for SF. What's better than the
gun-armed
1A3 is the drivers training variant. It comes with a dome-shaped cupola
where
the gun is usually mounted. I use those as command vehicles. There's
also the
Roland, a missile launching variant with a big radar antenna on top. I
modified the launcher a little and it looks neat.

Brian doesn't use Sculpey. I tried to go the Sculpey route, but found it
was
too difficult. Sculpey has to be baked. I could mold the putty the way I
wanted, but it was always deformed in the process of removing it from
the
bottom of the vehicle. I'm going to use Brian's suggestion of clays and
let it
air dry.

I have something else in mind for the Sculpey. I'm going to craft some
SG2
slit trenches with it. I'm also going to take a crack at creating
buildings
with it. I bought Super Sculpey as per an article I read on The
Miniatures
Page about using it to create historical buildings. I've got a cool idea
that
would make an excellent convention game. I just need some ideas for
sci-fi
buildings...
