Very nice M1.
I'm struggling to get the right look on the US desert yellow at the moment (it's either too yellow, too cream or pinkish) so it's always good to see one with a well balanced finsh and great weathering .....
cheers

Very awesome.
Incredible weathering and attention to detail.
I love the stowage - like the come-along strap and all the details.
Photographing w real light and shadows adds a new dimension that most of us don't get when taking pics of builds. I'm going to try that new photo shoot!
I can believe talking scarecrows and wizards in great emerald cities, but I refuse to believe there is no paperwork involved when your house lands on a witch.

Thanks for all the kind words! Brent, I used Model Master Sand, 33531 for the base coat. Weathering was done with AK's OIF weathering kit, and of course typical pigments and pastels.

Bruce, using sunlight/shadow was recommended to me by someone here a while back as my pictures never looked right. it really works! Background is just a large sheet of poster board.

Really like it. The weathering looks very realistic; the back panels especially.
This is a hobby. Its supposed to be fun. If you aren't having fun, you're doing something wrong.
