Towards the end, of course, criticism and advice are always welcome.
The figure is not the best, I know, but I'm trying to get better each time, so excuse me.

Hi Alessandro,
Your build/weathering is really very nice. However, since you're asking:
1. The tow cable looks a little flat, might want to upgrade with AM. Eureka XXL makes really nice tow cables which easily hold their shape when bent into position.
2. The tracks are facing in opposite directions with the left one being the most common. I'm just curious: Was that deliberate or a mistake? Note: That topic has been covered in a recent thread which seems to verify that this was sometimes case and it is not my intention to rehash the discussion on your blog.
3. The figure looks great!
Nice work! Hope this is helpful. Ciao,

Hello Mike, you are right about the two points from you listed, however, as regards the cables must desist as already positioned in one piece provided by the kit. Error neophyte! .
Of course you're right also with regard to the tracks, I noticed it later, but fortunately they are not completely closed, I get the last pin still free, and easy repositioning.
I'm happy for the compliments As for the rest, you know I think I'm still a neophyte, you can tell by the blunders that I do, and I always try to repeat criticism and advice about my only models in order to improve.
Thank you very much

I completely understand -- maybe some shadow/highlight treatment could help. At this point, someone else should chime in as I am by no means a painting pro.
On another note: Who makes the figure? I like the sideways pose that you have him in.

Thanks for the advice.
The figure makes the Dragon is a kit dedicated to tanks commanded to 39-43, but to be honest they are not exactly the best, in fact during assembly I found many cracks that required different fillings, but all in all, you say which is not too bad!
