Here is a dio i have been working on for 'bout 8 months
It is a M1A1HA Abrams from Trumpeter i added the TWMP to it from another kit i had. I will add another M1A1HA aswell but it still has to be built!!
The sand is real that i glued to the base and then i will add another thin layer over it.
The brushes are real moss that i stripped off an old tree trunk they are supposed to replicate small dessert plants/ brushes.
Anyway i thought i would put the pics up so i could get some constructive critisim!!
Looks great, wooty. Very nice build[tup]
My only suggestion would be to dirty up the track some more with the sand, and to sink the tracks down into the sand base just a tad. A 70-ton vehicle tends to grind up the terrain a little bit[:)] Other than that, looks outstanding to me!
Hey Snake
Thanks for the tips there!!!
Didn’t think about the tank being sunk down a little and also the tracks being dirty, but i read somewhere else on FSM that the sand tends to make them shiny???
But hey i’m not knocking your suggestions one bit. I will try it and see how it turns out
Thank You Kindely

Looks like a good build, can we get a few close ups of the tank? I like the look of your terrain, too. Reminds me of 29 Palms… Keep us updated when you add the second tank.
Hey Thanks Guys
Here are a few pics of the tank up close. I did have them here on FSM a while ago in a post about the progress of it , but what the heck another lot wont hurt.
This is a photo just taken after it was painted.
Same time but different angle.
This photo was taken in natural sunlight with the Tamiya Tank accessories kit put on it and a few added extras here and there.
Same time as above
There Ya’s go.
Thanks Robert
