Max,

NICE!

I hope this little detail didn't cause you too much work, but your's is the first Abrams I've seen with this correctly modeled.

Great build!

Thank you Jeff,
well, that detail in particular didn't cause me too much work (despite I had to build it twice as the first one got swallowed by my rug )
I just wanted to post an update with the TC's figure finished but turns out I'll still need alotta practice in terms of figure painting...
here's a pic of my attempt (after having stripped off the paint several times) next to a professionally painted head (painted by Chris Noone, thanks again) to illustrate my dilemma...

and finally here's the entire thing it's a converted verlinden figure with alpine head and hands the gear fitted to the IBA comes from dragon and hobby fan IIRC...

but anyway, I really appreciate your constructive input Jeff. that's exactly why I like posting my builds here, an additional pair of eyes really help getting stuff together properly... btw. how's it going with your braille abrams???

Cheers, Max

Nice work!!!

thanks man...

You are right Max ... Your head does look rather .......
But the figure looks promising !

Cheers
Christopher
