Very nice! What was the base colour you used for this baby?

Woo WOO! I have never seen such a great M1, looking foward the finished version!

Once gain thanks for all of the wonderful comments. Matt I still need to add some tie down straps for the storage, I'm waiting on some MIG pigments I order so I can add the road dust, still need to paint the drivers view glass sides, and the final part is to seal it with some Dullcoat. The base color of the model is Testor Enamel Sand

Hmm enamels... Extremely difficult to handbrush!

Here are some pictures of my Abrams build its been a while since I have posted some pictures. I'm almost finished. I just added some dullcot and MIG PIGMNTS











Let me know what you all think!

Very brilliant work... All the subtle rusting and weathered effects makes this beast look war-torn and veteran...

Thanks for the comment and positive feed back. I hope I didn't over do it with the weatheing and detailing.

Thats the best one in sand paint I have had the pleasure of looking at,
the wheels look great and the mass of stowage is great too.

Good work on the decals as well.

Looks great, Yufkey! I like it a lot. You may want to straighten out the first green roadwheel on the left side, it looks to be leaning out a bit too much (look at the fourth picture you posted).

I will make sure that I fix the road wheel I see what you are talking about.

Beautiful build Yufkey! I really like the stowage and the paint chipping/scratching. I'm just starting up a DML M1A2 and reading build logs like yours provide both big help and inspiration! One small thing, the bare metal on the green road wheels should be a goldish color.I'm not positive, but I think they're made of a titanium alloy. I do know from looking at the real thing that they are a pale gold color. The closest paint I could find is Model Masters Metalizer Burnt Exhaust.

Thank you all for the Great and Positive Feed Back. I have more kits coming.

Man, that is one b e a u t i f u l built!!! WOW!!!

Really impressed mate! Wow! I have one of these and the eduard pe set waiting to be built. Soooo many models on the go atm but after seeing this the M1 might just jump to the top of the list!

Great work!

I think it looks fantastic!..and your build has been a big help as I'm building one now. I'm new to armor and this is my first tank sooo..it's been an adventure and I would grade Dragons instructions a C+.. so with no experience their was some head scratching and your excellent photos have been REALLY helpful since I'm building mine similiar to yours, and I hope mine turns out 1/2 as nice as yours......
