Blackwater, exactly how are you making your tie-downs?

I have a terrible time with that personally and I would really appreciate a pointer so I can improve my models.

Thanks for the great models and keep up the good work !

Simply "magnificent " work. I liked that you were willing to show just how you made your top armor. Thanks and I just may used that style on my next Merkava. It looks like you and I build a lot alike "Man"

Helo W.J.

These are superb skills of scratchbuilding. !
Thank you for sharing and posting.

One little remark, there is no small cover on the LRF (range finder) head. You used the closed M60A3 type, while you should use the simple Patton open one. Very simple and easy to replace.

I have a question.. having the detailed Legend kit of the Gal Batash, why do you work so hard on the masive scratch build?

yours

Hello Michael
Thank you for the reminder (range finder), I did not notice it, I will correct it.
why do you work so hard on the masive scratch build?
Indeed, it has a very good resin kit. But that is not what I want, I want to make my own model, it should be unique. Facts have proved that I can do, this process is happy. I am also very pleased to share with you. Thank you all.
Thank you for your replies friends
Cheers

Hay I got my hands on a Tamiya Marine M60A1 and I plan on building it in to a (Magach Tagash Tsemed) M60A1 AVLB-Armoured Vehicle Laying Bridge. Or just IDF Magach Bridge Layer. I going to start on this one will I work on my Mk IID. But that a long time from now.

Any way keep up the grate work man.

Blackwater - this is an awesome build mate!

You really want to consider doing these conversion sets commercially so we mere modeling mortals can also benefit; that's a great talent for building / detailing you have there.

I am following your build with great interest.

Cheers.

Yes, I've noticed. Well done..

By the way, what reference do you use for your project? simply copying the Legend in scratch, or is it a massive change according to photographs?

Because there is no real pictures, I copied the legend (the picture on the network).
Mr. Michael has image data? I need help.
