Thanx for looking lads, I know there's been a few posts of these guys lol  The Abrams has soaked up close to 80hrs and at a rough count has had 400ish extra bits of plastic, brass and resin added ... I've got a customers job of some 1/72nd Panthers to do after these and dare I say it but I'm kinda looking fwd to some OOB builds ......


Anyway the base shading is on them now. Tidied up the rear bustle tarp by adding straps, green stuff and a little grinding to get it to nestle down properly. One of my peeve is "loose" or unsecured stowage, OCD I know. Todays job is adding a little more wear n tear, uping the contrasts a little and pigments, the end is definitely in sight. Oh I've also got to pin the rear tow cable eyelet, the end is resin and it's in a dumb place and keeps breaking. I should've hunted out plastic ends ...... grrrrr

That's some absolutely top-shelf paintwork!

Hot on the heels of the finished Abrams are the M-ATVs. They came out pretty well considering .......

I'd say they came out considerably better than "... pretty well considering ..." :)

Recent progress on some 20mm stuff (seems oddly small after working on 1/48th for so long).  My IS-4, PaK44 and Challenger1 that I've been making slow progress on (wips pics back in the thread somewhere) are all finally nearly there. Most of the lining and shading is done so left to do are touch ups, some detailing and QC stuff and final weathering then they're ready for the gaming table.

Great work all around! I love the IS-4M camo pattern!! It steals the show!!  :-*

From a whif perspective that Challenger is an awesome tank, the Tamiya kit is super adaptable and I almost bought a stack of them in 1/35, but I didn't have the cash at that time  :(
