Hello guys,
This is my first time posting my finished project. To give you and idea, this is my 7th model built. Just started building model kits 2 months ago. I got started in the hobby when i saw a tank displayed at a local store. Thinking that these tanks were sold as is (painted and assembled) I then asked the store if they have some of my favorite tanks for sale (bat chatillon 25t and 155) but they didnt have it. So i bought a random kit for display, when i got home then thats the time that i realized that it needs to be assembled and painted. At first i was laughing at myself, for me it was a child thing to build a toy. However after i finished this first model (rip tiger 1, she fell 6 ft high) and after seeing pictures of these scale armors and what can be accomplished, i started to love what i was doing.
Now onto my 7th model i learned a lot by reading tutorials online. This is by far my best model to date. Its not so special, nothing spectacular when compared to you guys but i loved what ive achieved.
This is also my first time painting a figure. Comments and constructive criticism is welcome

Hi Ansell, from what I can see it is a decent paint and weather job. The pics are to small to comment on the figure but it looks like you have a real talent so early in your build history.Well done

For only being your 7th tank, you're showing some real talent there. Good work!

Other than the weathering not being fluid, great build! I didn't even attempt to weather my first several kits, upon returning to the hobby. I'm glad you decided to stick with us. Models are a dying hobby and we can use all the fresh blood we can get. You really do show promise. The tracks, in particular are very well done. Your figure is light years ahead of my first.
