Hi Vicente,
I saw your cent at the AMT show and I must confess I spent a long time around this one.
First because Nam is my favorite era and secondly your weathering (that IMHO differs from usual weathering) looks really realistic.
Well in one word : stunning
I was surprised that it only received bronze.
This one, and regarding the other models in the same entry in the contest, deserved a better award.
Will it be published somewhere or will we have a chance to read how your perform that dust effect?
Cheers
Emilien

Hello Emilien:
Thank you for your words. For years I've competed in AMT and I'm used to. But bronze is fine. Coming up a Hobbyworld article
Bye

Awesome Centurion! I agree with the others on the weathering,Vicente. I'll have to get that issue just for your article. The searchlight is vastly underated because it looks so natural.
Maybe feed the judges' seeing-eye dogs an extra biscuit next time will get you justice..............
Cheers!

This a most certainly a case of less is more. Outstanding is the word that comes to mind.
