Hey Folks,
just finished this one.
I would like to thank LT Nicholas Moran for providing all the great reference material of his unit in iraq over on Prime Portal!
Please feel free to share your thoughts!

Max,

You have done well capturing the look of "Barely Legal".

I, too, like the weathering and small details, but I especially like the rust on the exhaust defletor and grate.

Well done!

Well ... it looks okay .... sort of. javascript:PasteSmiley(':D')
How about a crew to go with it ?
BTW since you are from Bavaria , are you going to the modelshow in Schleissheim this weekend?

Keep up the good work!
Cheers

Hey Christopher,

what do you mean with "sort of okay"? any suggestions for improvements? (hoping I didn't misunderstood you there mate!)

Again I'll have to say "no" to a crew. I ain't even got a single good figure I could use.
Yet next time my LHS has some resin tankers in stock I'll definitely buy some!

As for Schleißheim, I've got to work on saturday hence I'm going to miss the contest, but I'll see if I can get there on sunday. how about you?

Cheers max

Very well done, love the subtle weathering. It all looks very realistic, as if it might be sitting in a barracks somewhere after coming back off exercise.

Well Max your M1 is quite nicely done , just a little "naked" without crew, a tribute to the tanks name perhaps?
I‘ll be in Schleissheim both days just come by our club "Camuflage" stand and identify yourself.
I bring some of my M1‘s along so we will have enough to discuss1

Catch U later
Christopher
