At some point you have to dress up as one of those plastic Toy Army men and ride around in this. Other than that looks really good. Was it rattle can?

What it needs is "Action Man" stickers on the doors.

What are your plans for finishing up the painting? If you didnt already have it in your plans then i would wet sand it to give it a smoother appearance. Even a spray bombed paint job can look smooth like a spray gun when sanded.

Looks great either way
