Beautiful!!  Enjoy the show, I'm caring for a sick wife and won't be able to make it if anyone is looking for me.

Definitely a nice addition to your display shelf and hopefully with a couple of contest awards to accompany it from the show.

Thank you guys !

It has been crazy with all the rain here in north Texas, may have to build an ark as next project. ;)

Did well at the show, took 5 models and got 2 golds (HMSPG was one) and 2 silvers. The non winner must be cursed, its an OOB and has been to 3 shows and can not win !! Anybody need a SU-100 for target practice ? >:D

Next project will be "Project ’46 Panther Ausf.F R/6 – MAN interim field mod" in 1/35th (idea stolen from House of Queeg). Picked up the needed models at the show.

Might be time to put the Su-100 under the knife and kit bash it with the hull of a T-54/T-55 and turn it into a What-If Su-100 with a twist.  :)

I would never have thought of going with Battleship grey, but it just totally works!

Tell me about it, the commute to/from the west side of Fort Worth to Bell's plant in Hurst has been "interesting" this last week.  Fortunately, the 10-day forecast looks clear and we can dry out.

Glad to hear you did well at the contest.

Marvellous.
That smack so much of a real vehicle.
Watch out your idea does not get snaffled by some enterprising Arms Company.

It kinda reminds me of this vehicle on Deviantart. Check out the artist - he has some other great whif/sci-fi renders:
