Paul,
The Steelmasters article features a largely un-modified H&K Ram, so
it probably isn't a lot of help for you in terms of construction, what is
interesting, having seen the photo' in your blog, is that the kit featured
is probably inspired by the same picture- heavy use of camo' netting to hide
those dodgy kit parts!
