This kit is way older than I am. I tried uploading these earlier and failed miserably, so here is my second shot at it. Only my fifth model tank, so here it is.

Hey Trevor - success! Looks like you cracked the code on posting pics.
BTW: That's some pretty good photography, too. I really like that fist photo. It shows off all of that work you did to get those painted figures into the detail painted turret as you assembled it.
It's good to see you here, too.
I'd guess that you'll be getting some comments from Keith, Jeff, Dave V., and Scott among others...
See ya Wednesday for the meeting.
Don't sweat that battleship thing either... I think the rest of the guys are looking forward to getting a look at it!

The figures manning the gun are excellent! The officer appears to be suffering from jaundice. It may be the same color as the rest of the crew. It could just be your camera settings. For being the old Tamiya kit and only one of your first models, bang up job! Keep building. Keep learning. And, most importantly, keep having fun!

Well done, Trevor.
What's that disgusting grayish-blue thing in the background?
Dave V. - when are you going to join the rest of us with a proper signature banner? Even Keith has one.

I knew that. I was just trying to jerk your chain, but apparently my attempt at sarcasm failed miserably.

Wot, I see no ships not even hardships.
OK Trevor, nice to see your here at last. Well done on the photo's. having seen the beast up close you know what you need to do to hone your skills.
The photo's (close ups) do tend to enhance the detail (that's where the devil is) so look closely. The large seam on the side of the commanders head (face) for example. No exhaust marks, mud on the vehicle but not on the boots?
The model is really well put together and a nice even build and paint job, well done and keep up the good work.
Keith.
