The pictures won't show up in your posts. Flickr might not allow hotlinking images.

I have just finished mine and would Love to see what you do with yours but we need pictures cheers....Kenny

youcan see the pictures by right clicking and pressing open image in new window.

Marcos,
I have a Flickr account myself. I found that the best way to publish pictures from it to forums is to open the picture in your Flickr gallery then right-click and select copy the image address (or url).
The link must have the jpg extension.
Your original links do not have the jpg extension.
Here is what you can get. I chose the 800x600 size but you have more choices in fact.



HTH
Olivier

Marcus, nice to see a picture, we need more...cheers....Kenny

Nice job so far
Whos kit is this?

Goodness! They're not pink?
Haha! It was my night lamp playing tricks. Actually base color is Vallejo IDF Israely sand gray primer, then a very thin layer of Vallejo Green grey. With natural light the color come very close to the sandy green that you see on recent IDF armour. I was thinking of doing a couple of filters, but the color came so close to what I wanted that I am thinking about it. What do you think. I think I will use oils just to give a faded effect in some areas, and then some pigments. What do you think?

Its the Academy Merk IV LIC, with bits from Eduard(only found the HobbyBoss, so not all parts apply) and Legend.

Kenny,
it's one of Marcos' pictures. Mine is still a bit far from being painted.

Olivier

There. That is a picture with better lighting and white background. In my computer it is almost the exact color as the model. finished the pin washing, a little dry brushing and painted rubber skirts.

Hull advancing with som work with oils. Also decals have been fixed. Does anybudy know if Academy decals ar Kosher with real battalion and unit tactical markings?

Sorry!

Contrast between unworked turret and worked on hull.

Moving along.

Starting pin washing on turret.

Marcos,
do you use the M2 barrel that comes with the kit? To me it'is the most awful piece I ever saw! It's oversized and the drilled muzzle is nothing like the real muzzle.

I used Legend's Barrel. And yes, I agree with you.
