I dont know about you guys, they all a great build, but other than that, IMHO most of the tanks are just lack of personallity.
Maybe they way the weathering was done.
It is just my [2c] thou.

I think they look good. It’s hard to see a “personality” when the model is sitting on the entry form, but if you concentrate on the vehicle I think it’s there.
The other thing is photographing a model to show it off is not an easy or simple thing. Sure it’s a simple to snap a Work-In-Progress shot. But if you are trying to show off a model with subtle shading and weathering, you’ve got to think throughthe shot (ie. what do you want to show/highlight) and have dedicated indirect light from a couple of different angles to just begin to show it as it apears to the naked eye.
Lastly, it is tough to appreaciate a photo of something in 1/35 or 1/48 when the image in the picture is 3 or 4 feet away from the camera. I don’t care how good you eyesight is, humans just don’t have the visual acuity for it.
They are nice builds and look to be nicely weathered. It is not fair in my opinion to attempt to rate any build if it is photographed with on camera flash photography. In my experience that on camera flash photography does not adequately represent the nuances of the build. Just my [2c]
Thanks JM, the flash must be the reason why the model looks dull. [;)]
