Can a tank-thingy be pretty? It sure is pretty. If you need dust, I have plenty. sanding the wing filler on the Bobcat.... :bag: (closest thing to a mask)

It’s Italian... of course will have some flair to the look :lashed:

LOL! Thanks Lyle! And now with its final seasonings. I am calling this upgrade rework done! Now Mario and Luigi are on their way to points east to deal with those pesky Englishmen....

Great job Carlos I'm inspired to pull a old build off the shelf now to see if what I have learned since can breath new life into it, Thank you

Thanks Clint. A good solid older armor build is not hard to dress up. Add stowage, new or better crew figures...
Plus like here, at test mule for new techniques. In this case I made my own custom pigment blends and tried dot filters for the first time.

Thank you Stuart. It was a nice simple project, and also something of a test mule. And a nice fun diversion.

This was even more stunning in person! Pics don't do it justice! What a sensational build!

Thank you Mark. I really think that it all starts with this kit. It’s just a nicely detailed kit to work with. Lots of raised and recessed detail for washes and dry brushing to really stand out.
