Very nice build, thanks for the pics.
I agree the weathering is spot on, very restrained and realistic.
Cheers,

That looks so good it brings back bad memories. Only one thing, the Achzarit always always is muddy inside, the reason is that it a vehicle that never belongs to the soldiers inside like a tank would be. Because it is forever '

oops... because it is forever 'on lone' nobody ever cleans them out completely so the inside is always a mess. Still, awesome job.

Sorry to bother so much but on the same topic and an interesting side note, there is almost always an old broom scrounged from the base in the rear infantry entrance way for cleaning, it can be attached in many different ways or just thrown into the corner. Probably some of the only pioneer tools to be found.

Agreed, nice work.
I would presume it'll be in SMMI shortly?
