This has to be a record for me. A model finished in less than five weeks. :o











Every time you eat celery,an angel vomits in a gas station bathroom. Tanks rule. I know the load is late,but the voices tell me to pull over and clean the guns.

Thank you kindly Finsrin. :) I do wish I could get the washes toned down some. I used AK Interactives N.Africa dust on this. I think that stuff brushes on much better than MIG Pigments.

Hahahaha, I can sympathize with you there for sure  ;D  Great job man!  She looks like she just got back from playing in the dunes; weathering successful!  Certainly looks the part of an IDF machine now I wonder how many you can fool with her  ;)

Sweet ride, Zod!

Put together beautifully & a great paint job topped with just-right weathering.
Looks really real! Someone, with better skills at such things than I, should photoshop that into picture of the Golan Heights or Sinai Desert.

Cheers!

Great idea, I see your project like a tribute to the yiddish language, thanks a lot!
