Thanks Gary and Cagkan for the comments

Yes the keyboard is still functional I don't really have a work area and right now my computer is in what used to be a closet which is my only place to work on my models So everything on the dest tends to take a beaking from the stuff I work on.

Well I'm getting much closer to completing this build. Right now I'm doing the final stages of the build with painting the last minute stuff and gear for the base. Also trying to finalize the placement of the gear and figures. I still think the one side were fuel dump is, needs something in the blank space other than the one jerry can is.

Any ideas guys?

Chrs

Is it me or do these Russian tanks like the T55 and the T62 look better in desert sand?

Really nice work on the "extras" with the tank which really tells the story.

Chris- I think you have nailed the placement of the tank and the figures.
As for the waste ground area you could maybe have an old tarp with some odds and ends in it, like dented jerry cans or discarded bits and pieces or tools etc- just my two cents!

Hi Christopher,

It is looking flawless, nicely done..

Maybe you can add a little bit more dust on tracks and soldiers, just an opinion.

Regards

Thanks guys for the ideas and comments so far. I still plan to go back an add some last minute dusting once everything is glued down. I might add some discarded bundle ties and tubing to the blank area.

Gary I will be doing two build campaigns, one will be the us half track and the other blitzkrieg 4.

I have hobby boss m3a1 scout car and eastern express BA-1 armored car to build.

The T-90 I'm still working out details on the build I will be doing, but I can tell the theme I have for the dio will be set in the near future. Tank moving threw a midwestern town here in the US while support evacuating troops.
