Brent,
Do you have any "in progress" photos, the "build" or the painting/detailing/wash?

Looks nice, looks better than Hasegawa's M24. What kits are these M24's from?

Hi Mate,
I don't have any pics of these guys in progress but have pics of most of my finished stuff plus workbench pics of most of it on my "home" forum the GWP. Although you have to join to get the workbench stuff if interested. (apologies for the plug as I'm not really a fan of promoting one forum while on another)

Hi mate,
They're from Milicast. They're resin with most bits in large one piece castings, the wheels, hull etc etc. The wheels and tracks are a little roughly cast and take some care while cleaning up but you really only see it in enlarged pics and probably wouldnt notice it all if the tanks were nestled into some groundwork on a diorama base. They are 1/76th btw rather than 1/72nd like the Hasegawa kit but overall I think they are much better ............
cheers

A wonderful set, Brent, lovely.
I got my first pair of Millicast vehicles last week and they are most impressive. Never worked on an all resin kit before, so a challenge awaits.
Any tips and tricks at all?
Cheers
Mike

Those turned out very well. It's always nice to see some M24s, no matter what the scale.
Nice work!
