Well just about done with this one . A few more odd and ends on the tanks and some touchups on the ground work and I hope I can call this one done and get started on the M1 group build . I tried a few washes of black and brown to bring out some of the details of the backdeck grills , anti-skid coating ect. The Verlindin M1 set had a lot of good items in it so I spread that gear around the tanks to give them that " lived - in " feel . The plow M1 is the Trumpter kit , The overwatch tank is the DML M1A1 HA , the decals are a mix of Tamiya and DML M1 decals .

Carlton,
That dio is looking awesome, I reall your like your ground work how did you do it? plaster or celluclay?

Lord Toady,

WOW!!!!! I am speechless, this is one fine dio. I have nothing to comment critically, but I'd like to ask a question or two.

1st. How did you achieve the faded look on the blad thingy, they looked really awesome

2nd the fender thingy looked like it has textured surface, how do you achieve this? sand paper?

Great stuff!

One last thing, how many damned built Abrams do you have? #:-)

congrats TT this is very good dio and I liked the photos very much. both of the Abrams are very good and I especially liked the mine plough. I will make just one critic though there are a few more little points; Please change this green roadsign.I think it shows somewhere in Iraq or Kuwait but the hand writing on it is not good as you may agree.
