Any suggestions on how to make a nice looking command vehicle for DSII? I'm
working on some plastic Fortress Figures minis, and I wanted to make one of
them into a relatively distincitve command post. The figure looks something
like an M113 with a hoverskirt and a small dome centered on the back of the
roof. I can, and will, add some antennas but I can't think of anything else to
put onto it. I was thinking about a radar dish, but I don't have anything
small enough and I've got nothing to scratchbuild it with.

Any ideas?

How about mounting it on a large base & add sandbags with a tarpaulin & some
infantry figures?

Mount the command tank to one side, add a wall on the other side of the base.
Mount 1 or 2 infantry figures between the 2 & cut a piece of plastic
connecting the top of the hull to the wall. This should make it very
distinctive as a command post setup.

I never considered that...but I like it. A lot. I'll have to sit down and play
around with some figures, see what I can come up with. It shouldn't
be any problem to make sandbags out of miliput--that's the kind of
sculpting that I can manage.
