Matt, the helmet looks great. I'm still "blown away" with how you paint and weather those steel sheets. It just doesn't get any more realistic then that.

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates, starting a new job and moving interstate has slowed me down. Everything should be back to normal in a few weeks.

I thought this one was finished but the new tool chest from Black Ops Models fitted in perfectly.

Just when I thought I seen it all your diorama shows up in the forum. It's not a big diorama but you showed me that big diorama ' s are ok but super - detailing the small stuff is just as hard to accomplish as the big dioramas an are just as impressive.

I absolutely love your detail work! The bar just got raised a whole lot higher.
My brother served Iraq in Mozul during that crisis. I have GOT to send him your link. Very nice work!

The details are every bit as crisp and well done as Nick's large scale fab shop dio. Your attention to the little details really sets this smaller dio off. Great job. It's a great amount of efforts to make things look so realistic. I'm suitably impressed by this.

Well done!

I have been hanging around Armorama for about 12 years now and have seen many, many very talented modelers.,,,HOWEVER...I have never seen this level of super detailing. I admire your attention to even the minutest detail. It's amazing. I think there should be a special award here on Armorama for modelers of your caliber. This is why I come to this site. Thanks for sharing.

Jeff
