Thanks! With the surrounding garden I shot this in I would of had stuff like a large brown fence or garden gnomes in the way, I also had my dad in the garden sorting out his shed and tools, so i've combat this by only going to ground whenever possible. I totally get what your saying though, I love taking the camera down to ground level whenever I can, it really gives you a figures perspective and makes things look way cooler.
I done it in my unifighter series of shots recently..

Unifighter #2
But yeah, due to garden activity and other elements i wasnt able to go to low otherwise it included giant garden patio chairs etc
all in all i am pretty pleased with how it turned out, thanks for the kind comments too. The APV cost me £15.00gbp which is half the retail cost, over here the UK Industry swaps the $ for a £ without taking into account conversion rates.. so this vehicle at retail is £30.00gbp which is twice the cost it is in the USA.
I'd been waiting a good few weeks, and i lucked out at a local supermarket that had a sale on. I was like.. I'm havin that!! I just dont like the fact the pop up turret doesnt go up and down to take out aerial threats, truth be told i think the turret is cheaply made, I've seen better designs from PTE etc. The one thing it does do in removing the turret is take out the armament of the vehicle, I've also rejected daubing it in cobra stickers, this way it can move around the city looking like a normal SUV.
