Thanks!

Really nice,blend perfectly with the base.I really like the appearance of the weathering,a good amount,but not overdone,and the figure is posed nicely.

Thank you for the comment, for this project I wanted to apply an weathering process that was neither too heavy and not too light.

I agree with Anthony,, I think you've got the weathering down perfectly. In the close-up pic of the figure in the cupola, even his gloves look used & worn! That's some really fine detail painting! Thanks for showing us.

Thank you, well with each project I always try to do better than the previous one, for the painting of the figurine I was not sure of the result because I used a new brand of paint.

Excellent overall display Luc! As previously stated the weathering is great and very convincing as seen around the cupola. I like the way you've placed the elements in the display angeling the turret in relation to the road. I always think the base is as important as the finished piece. Outstanding sir.

Thank you for the comment ,I appreciate it I always try to present a model in a natural environment as realistic as possible and from a dynamic angle.

Nicely done Lucas! I really like that you remembered to mask where the side fenders would have been. The commander figure is top-notch!

Thank you for your comment, I always try to follow a logic with the assembly of each model and to follow the original idea

a fabulous build and an excellent diorama, the ground work is well executed indeed. my only crumble is the black edge of the diorama as it draws your eye away from it and I find it a little distracting but I guess you chose that to tie in with the badge on the lower left part of the base.

well done mate

Thanks for the comment, yes it was to separate the diorama from the base that I used the black band, but I did not realize that it caused a distraction, I take good note of it for my next project.

Excellent work my friend!. The weathering and the figure looks great, well done!!

Regards!

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it very much.

As with everybody else - great job!!! Could you give us some pointers about how you did the "ambush" camo?? Again absolutly superb!

I painted the camo by freehand with an Iwata hp-ch 0. 3mm airbrush, then I painted the dots with a brush with very diluted paint for the barrel I used a camo mask.
