The weathering came out fantastic! Really gives it depth.

Love how the weathering really tied it together. The paint reminds me a little bit of Israeli Air Force!

Thanks, Gingie! :icon_alabanza:

It's the British Silver Grey that does it - it looks a lot like the pale green the Israelis use. ;)

And here I am doing photo stuff!


The M1128 in "Completely-Completed" guise;


























All it took was fitting stowage & a TC, & that only took 6 months to get done.  ::)

So, that's her done &, finally, Fully-Finished!  :smiley:


That's for taking the time to take a peek!  ;)

Nicely done OW!  Nicely done!  It looks like it has been in the field for a spell and in need of a good wash-up.

Thanks, Jeff!  :icon_alabanza:


As I said, the only real change is the addition of the TC & the stowage to finish it off properly (&, now, looking at the photo's again, the stowage could probably do with some dusting up).


... They made a movie about this aspect of modelling!  ;)

Absolutely stunning mate.  The detail, paint work and weathering are just spot on. My hat is well and truly tipped!  :-*  :icon_alabanza:  :-*  :icon_alabanza:
Pass the razor saw, there is work to be done!

Agreed. "Completely-Completed" M1128 looks just gorgeous  :smiley:

As you say, though ... stowage (especially the spine board) needs some dust covering to match the MGS hull.

Very nice, Guy! It looks appropriately heavy with the flat spots on the tires.

After-market resin "weighted wheels" - can't go wrong!  :smiley:
