Thank you Greg and Jeremy!
Well, i'm rapping this up and entering the model into the DMOM comp. of April! Wish me luck! I've also submitted this beauty to http://www.track48.com
This felt like a quick build. It wasn't easy or hard. I only hated fitting on the back. 8.5/10 from me for this model.

The stars ymy biggest disgrace on this model. Not even nail varnish would make it stick so I had to hand paint it.

LOL indeed they are
I really like how this came out overall, the shape/texture of the the clay around the edges just seems a little weird to me. I really wish that Tamiya's 1/48 MM line had positionable suspension...

Thanks Jeremy. The texture around the edges is probably my fault of painting the board after letting the clay set. I remember Tamiya did release their first workable suspension on the 1/35 pershing that came out after the 1/48 one!

Hey Greg, any idea why my pics might not be going through on track48? do I have to wait a while? I just hope my email got through. It didn't the first time and they haven't replied since.
