HI MIlo,

This morning, I went to the local army recruiter and enlisted. I told them my name was "Miloslav Hraban". Congrats MIlo, you'll be on your way to Iraq soon! I figure that way, you can show them what their tanks are supposed to look like! :-) :-) :-) I figure yours look more real then the real thing anyway! Well, cant wait to see this one finished! Have fun!

Milo,
I take it your building A14 before it lost it's fight witht he desert. as in the picture in your signature?

Well, last night I finally put paint to A11 and it's decals. I was also working on my M1114, so A13 will have to wait till I finish these two off.

Don't forget to add an EPLRS antenna on the right rear side of the turret.

Very funny! :-)

I'd love to see Miloslav display each one in a vignette or a couple together. Is there any plan to put crewmembers in the hatches? How will the barrel slogans be done? Computer?

Pete, I'd love to see some progress on yours too.

Hi all,

I have still one Academy, one Trumpeter, one Old Dragon, one Tamiya w/MP and two AIM for A34, A32 and I gladly build A31 but i dont have node pics.
I prepare crew special for this Abrams, I have more photos.
Barrel slogan is no problem.
In possible together from next decals(I have more Echelon decals) or computer.
Here is my next Abrams

Sweet NATO-camo'd tank! In fact, I think all your work is impressive.

How'd you make the vertical streaks of dust/sand on the side skirts and cake the sand buildup on the road wheels, etc?
