Hi all

I managed to finally get this project finished after shelving it for a few weeks. I placed the model on a simple base. Here are the pics of the finished model.












Now that this project is done I can now concentrate on the T55's, after that it will be the new trump T62.

Rob, that is some good work, I like the burnt out effect as well as the ashes around the road wheels.

Your work is really great!!!

I think you are the great master of a field of wrecked models.
I am extremely impressed by your works.

And I hope you could permit to use this wrecked M1 in my blog and cafe as same as before.
Please!

Thank you for your sharing!

Kim.

Thanks Mike, glad you like it. It's hard to see in the pics but there is molten aluminum depicted at the base of the wheels.
Kim thank you very much and you certainly may post it on your cafe as before.

Rob

Awesome job Rob. Can't wait to see this one in person. I hope you bring it to AMPS East along with your SturmTiger, that is if your coming.

Rob, absolutely stunning work. I see your images are back online in the other thread, now I can go back and read through it all. Thanks for sharing the techniques

Woo Wooo!

I love your work! I like the ash of brunt rubber and metal and the collapsed suspension.

Great!

I appreciate your kind consent!!!
I have been studying a lot of painting skill from your work.

Again many thanks to you

Best regards.

Kim.

WOW!, just wow!

Excellent work Rob, well done and thanks for sharing

Cheers,
Ian

Thanks for the kind words guys I'm glad to hear it.
James..sorry but the Sturmie is gone as will this one soon. I build for fun and never keep anything I build. I started doing comm work about 7 years ago and when I moved back to the US I sold off my collection and since then have never kept a model.. If I go to the AMPS show in Conn I will have a T55 or the new Trump T62 with me, as a wreck of course.

Thanks again guys

Rob

Great work on the weathering. The look is as close to the real thing as possible. As a former M1 tanker it is a look that I prefer not to see represented but it is a reality. Again, very nice work.

Outstanding work Rob, you are indeed the king of the wrecks!

Tim thank you and I feel the same. It wasn't easy doing this project and I will most likely never do an Abrams wreck again.
Bill, your way too kind my friend,thank you.

Rob

Very well done! (no pun intended LOL)



cheers

Yo Rob, this is sweet, nice job .

Very nice job! I followed your build thread, and it's given me quite a few pointers to use on my builds. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rob,

Great wreckage of M1...

I have tried many times to do a burnt out tank, never really got anywhere near.

Can you pls share how do you do it?

Cheers

Thank you all for looking and for the kind words.
Kiong.. here is a link to this M1 build showing how I did most of the painting. This is only one of the ways I paint wrecks, it all depends on what you are trying to simulate. Hope this helps you.

thanks again guys

Rob

GREAT model!
I think you mastered your techniques!

The staff should add a destroyed version of this icon specialy for you.

Thanks Paul glad you like it. Don't know about the icon though.
