@stevegs – Steve,

Splendid job! Well executed and convincing burnt out hulk. It appears you thinned down many of the parts to scale giving the impression of a much larger build, Kudos! Nicely detail gun and turret compartment. Great play on colors.

As always Steve, masterfully done work. Did you completely scratch build the turret interior? The weathering in near phenomenal.

Hi!

Looks like we have some spam here...

Steve, your T-72 is looking great! Leaves me speechless!

It is amazing what some guys can do in braille scale here...

Keep on the good work!

Regards,

Sebastian

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the comments, it was a satifying build. Its the Revell kit with lots of scratchbuilding.
