I Finally finished this. Really, I did. I got the chains on the tow cables. Spare track links on. Tarps on the both the turret basket and crew baskets. All crew machine guns have been mounted as well as the fire extingushers. I forgot, I had those until I was looking in the remaining parts. Well here it is.

And thank you to all that gave me the tips on how to make the tarps.
Looks great! I did the Academy Merkava III last year. Attaching those chains gave me some problems. How did yours fare?
Very, very nice. I’m also looking at how I’m going to do the chains, on an Academy Merk II.
Very nice work Moose, you did a spectacular job. The B&C armor looks great as well. Did you paint the numbers yourself?
Chris,
looks awesome! i love that texture on the turret, the bolts really pop
really nice job Moose, modern armour isnt usually my bag but i love the sci-fi look of this one the ball and chains looks great i bet they were a pain heh.
The Merkava has always struck me as plain lethal looking. You’ve done a good job of the modern updates.
How did it go. Not very well. I ended up scrapping the first attempt. Then, I got smart and bought a new set of pliers. That meade the assembly alot tighter and resulted in a much improved look. Thanks for the compliments. The numbers where done using Verlinden dry transfers. Had make one of the letters using up a couple of numbers and add the black outline. I then weathered the numbers using mig pigments to “dirty” it up and get rid of the shine.
