Hi Everyone,

Yesterday was the 2004 MESM (Mountain Empire Scale Modelers) show. Missed it? You must have blinked!

Anyway, my h'track did well, so here it is:

DidWellHalfTrack

Just go to Armor folder.

Now, in pixel, I see a lot I need to redo. Basically, it is OOB, but the .30 boxes are resin, the jerry can holders are scratched and the cans can come out and I put straps on some of the stowage.

BYW, there are redunadant shots--playing with the flash of my camera.

Enjoy.

I'm unable to access your pictures for some reason. I have one in the box unstarted. I plan on using the Verlinden detail set and or if any other detail set is or will be made when I start working on it.

Congrats mate on a well done kit! I too have the same kit. Your work inspires me a lot to give a lot of detail to such OOB kit. Love it!

I can see why, nice work. Try some pics in natural sunlight also Fred, -- that can really bring out subtle changes in color that can often by washed out with a flash. Nice work here.
