Perez,

First of all 'Welcome'. You have done an incredible job on your build . . . had you posted your build elsewhere on the forums here on Armorama and not mentioned the scale it could have easily passed for a 35th or larger scale build. The weathering and wear is superb. You met and exceeded your challenge . . . well executed down to the burnt out road wheels. There appears to be a very strong probability that the crew was unable to escape?

Excellent job on the groundwork, I like how you handled the burnt areas on the ground too. Nice photography with a good selection of views. Thanks for sharing your build here and hoping to see more.

Again, Welcome

Hi Perez
Welcome to the site - Brilliant Panther!

The hanging barrel rod cleaning case imparts perfectly the 'blast' effect from the incoming A.P. round and the groundwork is of an equally high standard.

I love everything about it and look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future.

Best regards.
Gary Needham
