This is all,enough for two days...next,decals,washes,stowages,wheatering...soon.

A solid build! I really like the optics too. Any special technique?

Scott, your camo on the Blradley came out great. Excellent weathering. Certainly has that used but not abused look.

Scott - came out very sharp!


Dani --here I am. I am a procrastinator and wait until the last minute

Plus my 2 year old is almost 3 and staying up later at night so less modelling time

You did a fine job on that Pershing. Now I will have to hurry up!

Thanks for the kind words guys this was my first go at airbrushing a model and I think it turned out well.

Robby, the optics are very simple to do, it is just colored mirror card with a piece of iridescent foil over it and the clear plastic glued together to make a sort of laminate, then glued in place.

Dani great work on the M26 well done and do not forget to post some pictures in the campaign gallery.

Got some more work done on my Academy M4A2 Sherman Russian Army.



I've finished the main assembly work. And I will be getting it ready for paint. I had to replace a few things, on the rear storage platform, the 2 small plastic parts for the angles broke so I replaced them with some brass stock. and the small plastic parts for the turret mantlet mounting brackets? broke also so I replaced most of them with wire.

I don't really like the MG that comes with the kit, so I am thinking of trying to figure out how to build one of my verlinden MG's.


The tools are in place mostly except the large pry bar is slightly out of place, which caused me to adjust the shovel position slightly.



other than that no problems.

Everyone getting down to the wire.

I'm working on a small base for my Hellcat; I'm done with the tank and figures. (also my Tamiya Campaign Pershing is done except for 1 ration box I'm sticking on the fender)

I have 4 photos in the Gallery. Maybe I posted them in the wrong spot.
Can you let me know if I did not post in the correct spot?

Thanks,
Tom

No worries, Tom. You have your pictures in the right place. I think that's Scott just gives that reminder to every finisher.
