I am also working on the Tamiya M1A1, worked up as a Desert Storm Vehicle. This one will just be on a simple base with only the kit figures. Both the tank and the crew figures are in progress.

Very nice! It looks great. Weather her a little and then you got a nice lookin model.

I love those figs! Nice job on that camo!

Looks good given there are any real detail shots. Can you try getting in a little closer?

Good job on the T C and loader . I really hate doing small pattern cammo , but you really took your time to get it right .I have built this kit twice , I'm guessing this is a OOB build . You might want to latch down the loaders hatch the way that you have it posed is not a locked position (i'm guessing it is dry fitted ? ) . Time for a quick war story - During manuvers my loader got his clock cleaned by a un-secured hatch . Good job over all keep us up- to date

Al, still learning on the digital camera, and will try again withbetter shots, but the additional pictures will have to wait until next week as I am heading out of town for a few days.
Turrettoad, thanks for the comments on the camouflage. I actually enjoy the detail work. Normally I find a decent color picture (used one of a walking machine gunner in the Squadron Desert Storm book). Unfortunately, the hatch is not dry fitted. Could you give me more information regarding where the hatch should be in a locked position?
