Thanks for putting up the model Vinnie. I've since then re-arranged the detailing in those pics. I know last minute changes but appreciate it all the same. Thanks again. I'm still not happy with the pics but I'm trying to impprove on that aspect of the hobby as well.

Amazing Charles

The rusted added on armour looks very very effective and everytime I look at the pics I notice some extra detail.

Thanks for showing your work

Thanks everyone. Glad to have support.

I'm now working on another build with pretty much the same theme. Actually it's an old model I had done but didn't do a good job of it. Now that there are many photos of it I'll have the chance to present it more accurately. Using the same Iteleri m977 kit. Those m977 kits do come in handy don't they. I use in in almost all of my build as the base model. It's a pity it's been dis-continued. So I've managed to purchase 3 for future builds.

Well, I'm currently in the process of moving to VA, so I have had to put it on the back burner. BUT I'll shall succeed in completion when regrouped.

Is the M1077 the one with the usual 8 wheeled?

Yes it is. It is commonly configured with the Common Bridge Transport. (mount /demount device). Used for the Improved ribbon bridge and the combat assault boat

Thanks. Now I know what you mean. That's what I wanted to do first but I went all the way and did the PLS instead. I loved the 10 wheeled look

Beautiful...!!! Absolutely first rate... I really like this type of display, sort of the mini diorama/vignette look and the model is truly stunning. I love it...!!!

I was going through your profile and builds and saw this one. Really impressive ti. Is it 100% scratch build? How long did it take you? Awesome MAN!!!! You are really impressing the hell out of me And I'm not a person who is easily impressive.

It's 95% scratchbuilt. I started with the M977 chassis from the Italeri kit. Took me roughly 3 weeks to complete.
