HOLY CRAP!!!! that is some awsome work! You must do this professionally #:-) #:-)

WOW oh just noticed I think there is a little bit of copper showing in the first (i believe)picture

I've wondered if replacing the sight on a .50 was worth it (when one is available in s PE detail set). You've just shown me it is! As impressive as this was showing the detail work, seeing it so well painted makes it even better. My hat is off to you.

For Airwarrior:
Gosh, it's copper showing up on the handle. I did'nt recognize it before, but... consider it fixed!

For Al:
the part at the back of the sight it's PE but the front one it's scratchbuilt from copper wire

For everybody:
Thanks very very much for your support, tips and comments
Ciao

Back again! I've started working on the display base...

Dang! That is simply beautiful work. Everything is great. Love the .50

Hi all!!!
This is the final update of my M47 on its diplay base...









A cyber-drink for all of you!!!

:-) Superb, absolutly wonderful. Cheers to you. Thanks for sharing and thanks for painting it.
What's you next project and when do we get to see it :-)

beautiful work !
You make me want to start building my M47 (I'm keeping it for jordanian colors) !
Thank you for showing us all these great pictures all along !

That is a wonderful job on that kit.Nearly making a silk purse out of Sow-1's ear.
Makes my M-47 seem so,so INADEQUATE!
I hope the TC or someone climbs out and secures the phone box door,that phone is going to tumble out,and get dragged along by its cord.
Hey,that would be a neat thing to replicate...

"WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO NEXT?
Give me all your secrets... You build some of the best projects that I have seen. Your attention to detail is above reproach. Please do us all a favor and keep sharing your work with us all..

Thank you very much for the kind words and the appreciation of my work. Looking at your comments my M47 seems outstanding, but I can see (and already put on the paper) a lot of room for improvement...
Anyway you can be sure that I'll continue posting, when I'll have time to build something else. To build the M47 it took a few months, not for the difficulty of the task itself, but due to the few time available.




Animal:
if you go through the thread I explained quite a bit of the "technicalities" either visually or in writing. Anyway if you want to know more, 2-2 Dragon gave me the opportunity to write an article for his site http://www.patton-mania.com and I was very proud to do it, and I submitted the text to him yesterday. In the article you will find more details about the construction. If you're interested in something in particular don't exhitate to PM me whenver you wish.

This tank touches my monkey.............and I'm serious when I say that. I may print this out and tape it to my bedroom ceiling.

Awesome.
