Thanks RedRaider

Terry-- very nice. I like the wood effect you achieved on the M-1 stock and the OVM. How did you get that distinct brown coloring? What did you use to make the antennas?
thanks

DJ,

The antennas are made of stretched sprue. The wood is done with Model Master Burnt Sienna over dark yellow.

Great job, I love the gradient model is excellent and I love the detail of the chains on the wheels. Certainly these are great strings holding accessories the back.

Great job! I particularly like the chipping around the angled edges of the hull and fenders. Good all around work.

Have a little confidence
It's not an M8 I think, it is a very good looking and well modeled M8
Good Job

Excellent model Terry. All the little details like straps and tie downs really add a lot of interest to the base kit. Weathering ties it all together nicely. Nice one.

Hey Terry,
Your M8 looks great !!!
My only nit pick would be to say that the tires and chains look a wee bit too clean, a little mud and muck wouldn't look out of place !!!
Cheers

Gday redraider
I think you have turned out a fine looking machine here. I assume it has yet to be 'mucked' with mud/dirt? One gripe would be the tow cable. It looks too 'stringy' where laid across the front. I reckon it has too many sharp turns to it, whereas the taughtness of the cable would make for a more gradual curve maybe...
Lovely work on the antennae!

Good effort there.

Excellent painting and weathering, lad. The antennas are great. How about some groundwork and a figure or two?

The wheels are from Jaguar and the ration box is Custom Dioramics or Verlinden I think.
