Hi Dudes,

This is my ABrams ID campaign done, I decided in addition to the Carnivore on the gun tube to name the tank Sweet Jeanne, after my gal. And also on the tank is WWH, Lord WeWillHold aka Lord Two Parts Grenade, Lord Toady (represented by a toad), and me DT at the back CIP thingy.

The tank is lightly weathered with powder to show some road dust.

Lord Lens:

Congrats on completing the Abram's for the Campaign, and for "immortalizing" Jeanne, Toadie, and WWH.

The camo looks well done here (as usual), and I love the hand painted Toad -- nice touch! Another campaign ribbon for a master modeler----looks good Dave!

Lord Dave! Looking good! I am especially honored to be represented on your work! Guess I need to get going on my build. You guys are ahead of me #:-) . Anyway, congrats on your build, even if it wasn't a wingy thing . Add some crew gear to give it a lived in look and you are set. Awesome job!

Thanks for excluding me, I feel so grand
Anyways, the kit has turned out rather well.
I would add, however, some subtle rain streaks and overall dust effects as the paintjob looks rather too bold.
Peace,

Andrew

Good camo job Dave, a bit glossy though. You really did immortalize Jeanne, TT & WWH on this build. Cheers to you guys.

Dave,

Good to see you finish the Abrams. Nice camo you have done but it looks a bit shinny. Are you gonna to spray a thin coat of Flat Clear on it later on?

I like it all & agree with everyone else - but I think I like the painting of the "toad" most of all! That's a nice touch.

Dave,
Good to hear from ya man!!
I hope you still have room for a little piggy on the Abrams somewhere???????

Perhaps on the turret roof a little pink piggy to stop the Pig Air Force from dropping it's load from a great height!!

All the very best matey.

Are ya expecting trouble? Possibly rivet counters at the gates?

This is an excellent job, i like the hand-painted signs but i sure do vote for more dust! maybe its the oics but it looks clean like it just came out of factory
