Hi, I just finished my Canadian Leo and here are some pictures for comment. I am new to this and am still learning all the ins and outs. Been doing it for only three months now... be kind...

Thanks for all your help everyone!

Robert

For three months and it looks good. You might want to lighten the slat armour as it is a shade dark, dry brush a lighter tan colour on it and will bring it up.

Robert your leo looks great, really good for someone that has only been in this hobby for three months. Like Anthony said, the slats could be a lighter shade, but other than that, great tank, looking foward to seeing more from you. Now if I can only finish mine, I'll be posting some pics here in a little bit so check in.

I think you've done a splendid job on your Leo! You have effectively captured the essential essence of the beast.

Is this the Hobby Boss kit?

I hate to jump on the band-wagon, but I have to agree that the colour you have used on your slat is a tad dark. However, this could be a result of the lighting used when photographing your model as the pics look a little dim in general.

Please keep sharing your work with all of us here!

Cheers - Dan
