Here is something I've been working on and I'm getting close to complete so I thought I would post to get any feedback on what I can do to improve my next model. I would like to hear your comments and any ideas to get better.





Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave, Nice job.You might want to weather the tracks alittle,they look too clean. Happy Modelling.............Vince

It looks real good,the camo job came out great.If you want to nitpick i would paint the insides of the smoke grenade launchers black.

Looks a lot better than my first one. Nice job, keep it up.

Same here. I'd say the skill-set is there.
If that's the Trumpeter kit you're a miracle worker.
Camo looks great, you certainly didn't pick an easy scheme to start with......

Thanks for the comments guys. The points like painting the smoke grenade launchers black are the comments that will help me make this model look much better.

Vince - I do plan to weather the tracks and some more to the entire model.

Dave,

A VERY good effort for your first military model.

The Loader's MG is mounted on a Steel Scate Rail (the curved flat piece raised slightly off the turret), which should be a bright steel finish (pictures from Prime Portal):



To make the Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command (MERDC) style camo pattern more accurate, you need more of the tan and black stripes in the pattern. MERDC



But, these are only to help you improve. You have done quite well as it is!

Thanks Jeff for the info. I'll try to add some more tan and black but not sure how much I'll be able to add without it looking like it was added later. I'll also look into the steel rail and thanks for the great link to the camo info.

Thanks,
Dave
