Excellent work Karl, excellent!
This one ROCKS! Nice work overall, and probably your best weathering to date - complex and in context…super nice.

[bow]I’m not worthy,I’m not worthy. LOL. Seriously, simply amazing stuff Doog. Not only is it beautiful work, it seems it didn’t take you that long to finish, Master Jedi Modelling skills in full effect.
What else can one say but WOW!!! That is one great model Doog! Does this mean we might start to see some American armor in your inventory now?

Nailed it square on the head doog. Nice.
Nice,[wow]Very nice, Looks like its been to hell and back.[tup]
Evening
Awesome work as usual, you are the master [bow]
Mark
Bill, Nate, Tony, and Mike–thanks, guys; I do apreciate the comments!
Bill–_"It doesn’t just look like an ersatz that sat on its haunches until spring, somhow, it FEELS like it’s been out in the elements."–_Ahhh, now THAT’s the kind of thing I was going for! Thanks for the great way of putting that! [:D]
Rick--“This one ROCKS! Nice work overall, and probably your best weathering to date…” WOW, that’s a great vote of confidence for me, hearing you say that! Thanks, man–I’ll never stop pushing the MIG stiff which I think is so integral to the methods that I’ve adopted now! Thanks for that nice compliment! [:I]
David–“**Master Jedi Modelling skills in full effect.”–lol! Thanks, man!
Stephen-- “Does this mean we might start to see some American armor in your inventory now?”--uhhhh…[:-^].mmmmm…[%-)]…maybe?! lol! Seriously, though–you may…maybe I’ll surprise everyone sometime soon?! Thanks for your comment!
Marc, Andy, and Mark–thanks a lot guys, I do appreciate your compliments!
Hmmm…what’s next now? [:-^]…[swg]
Like it? How could I NOT like it?
Sweet stuff here Karl. Those mud-caked tracks look great, and the overall effect on the glacis (especially) of the multitudes of weathering techniquies is spot on. [tup][tup]
Wow well done doog, another great build, and a unique one too, I haven’t heard of this tank untiul I saw its review in FSM.
I can see that its a captured german panther, but why did they added extra armor?
Thanks, dupes! I appreciate the [tup]'s! I worked hard on this sucka!
T-rex, the armor was added for disguising the tank; to alter its lines to look like an American M10, to try to sneak it behind American lines in the Battle of the Bulge. It really wasn’t an attemp to “up-armor” the vehicle. Thanks for looking in, and for your compliments!
Well Karl I give this one a perfect 10 and a gold of course. Now I have to start popping in on the Auto forum to keep up with your builds, a pleasure of course.
As for the wreck build goes, I remember you commenting on one of my first posts here and showing pics of your wreck. It was really cool and very well done. I would love to see you do another especially with your weathering technique. I’m all for a wreck GB whenever you are, that would be awesome.
I will be checking into the oils and pigments after seeing this fake M10 of yours.
Rob
Doog…WOW! that is beautiful.
Bob
Some of your best work Doog. You know me though, I’m still a “spooked” kind of guy. lol
Mighty fine work doog!
Aww, thanks, Rob! [:I] That’s anice comliment from a guy as talented as you. [:D]
I’m leaning toward doing another car–a modified dirt track car, and then maybe a Model T or A believe it or not! I think I"m going to do the oldie as an old, dusty farm car–kinda like a medium-weathering thing with much dust and fading. I’m contemplating the technique to use as we speak!
Not sure what armor I"m going to do next–might be something completely off-the-wall and unexpected? I had a good time changing up my routine here, with the OD finish. Maybe I’ll go for a modern tank?
I have to imagine that you would kick my butt in a head-to-head “Rust-off”, lol! You are the man when it comes to wrecks! [bow]
Bob, Tony, and John–thanks for commenting, guys! I appreciate the [tup][tup][tup]'s!
Hey Karl,although the subject matter doesn’t really interest me, your skills never cease to amaze. That is some of the finest weathering I have seen. Great work! Now, when are you going to do a wingy thingy??? ( I remember that last one met a horrible fate[swg])
HA HA, Eric! I actually do have the Hasegawa 1/32 Stuka in my stash, courtesy of a kind and generous gift from Aaron (sfmac). I also just picked up the PE set for it–gotta do it right, ya know? [:D]
I intend to get to that eventually…
Thanks for your comment, friend!
Very nice finish, doog…some very cool and intense color variations going on here with the green…Me likes…[tup][tup]…perfect dio piece…
