Of course we like it! There can never be too much modern armour. How was the kit?

Very nice job. Extremely clean build it looks like. How about some details? Hard build? Any big problem spots? What did you use for weathering? That's important to a newbie like me. Keep them coming.

Nice looking Marder and good soft edges on the camo.

Dear Bob,
details is good and building is not difficult. I did not face with a big problem during consruction. I used oil paints and pastel chalk powders for the weathering. For mud, I mixed real soil with some water and and spread it to vehicle using a toothbrush. The finish is satisfactory for me.

I will post some close pics.

Thanks once again.

Thanks Tahir! Again an excellent job. I aspire to be that good some day. I find the NATO camo particularly vexing.
