Looks good, now you just need to make them BIGGER. If you have a gmail account google offers the picasa thing and you can size up your photos there.

Build looks solid. Was it a fun kit to build?

OK Here we go again and thanks Damon for helping a Newbee

This is my build of the Trumpeter M1A1HA with mine roller set. It’s mostly "out of the box” but I couldn't resist on adding some items on it. First I bought some decals from Echelon that seemed appropriate
Then I built three CIP:s for the torrent out of Evergrey plasticards and a Cooler out of Mini putty. Added some bags and sleeping gear from Tamiya. The model was painted with Tamiyas XF-59 and then painted with MIG:s Brown wash, some brown and black oil paint for oil spills and for some definition, after that it was dusted with Tamiyas weathering pigments.
The base was made of a photo frame, some plaster, small rocks, some sand and model grass from my spare box, two oil barrels from Tamiya and some cactuses from Diopark. The whole thing was painted and weathered with Tamiya paints and pigments.
All comments welcomed.

Thanks I'll look in to that. I tried Imageshack first but that didn't work.

Yes It was a great build, but there was some fixes needed specially with the mine rollers and the missing CIP:s but there should be at least one challenge in every build

I like the figures and the base Lennart, how did you find using the tamiya weather pigments.

The model looks really nice, Lennart.

If you want to try a different photo hosting site, try Photobucket. It's pretty easy to use and adding pics to the forum is only two clicks of the mouse.

Thanks Paul I used Tamiya weatherine master kit with Sand, Light sand and Mud in the pallet.
It's quite easy to use, just choose the color you want and use the sponge tool to apply it. If you apply much pigment on the sponge you get a more dustier effect and if you put on less you get an highlight effect. If you get too much pigment it can easily be brushed with a rougher brush.
I favored the Sand and Light sand pigments the Mud one didn’t really show on the model
All in all a good and easy to use product.
