@BBD468 – Gary,

Simply Stunning!

Thank you Gary, and also to everyone that kindly posted information and photographs making this build a pleasure to see unfold and a learning experience for everyone concerned. I want to extend my gratitude and appreciation to everyone (even to those just lurking) for making this hobby a rich and enjoyable one.

Master Bogg Windu, your dedication to this hobby is first rate as is your modeling and photographing skills. You certainly have the power of the FORCE!!!

Hi Gary!

I really enjoyed your build log and followed it with great interest. As I said before, thank you, you inspired me to pick up my T-62 from the shelves. I stripped it and started to repaint (after a 1,5 year stop!). I will post some progress soon.

Cheers & Thanks!!!

Very Impressive build once again Gary.

Shows that you dont have to fling PE at a model to make it look first rate. Maybe this is something that I should learn.

Gary, what an incredible job!!! I think that if you had put a different background for these pictures, I wouldn't be able to tell if they are real or a model...stunning.
In my opinion the strongest point is the delicate balance between the camo painting and the wathering, sometimes it is too much, sometimes it is not enough but this balance is perfect, brings everything up.
Cheers!

Stunning work Gary, you work really fast and clean. It's like Trumpeter tooled this beast just for you. That's a proper crowd pleaser!

Can't wait to get my hands on a decent camera and TRY to emulate you and all the other great craftsmen who share their work with us all.

Again Gary, great job

Now go get a beer
