This is my first ever 1/35 scale tank and I am very proud of my work. I’d like to thank Elite Modeling for his wonderful tutorials here in this website. Any comments and complaits are fine by me. Just to let you know, I’m entering it into a convention in Quebec. Wish me good luck![:D]

Congrats on completing your first build and best of luck at the convention! [B]
Superb job for a first ever armour build-a hell of a lot better than my first attempt!
If you are planning on entering it into a competition why not have a go at a bit of drybrushing to make some details ‘pop’ - it’ll make a big difference. Also, try some dusty pigments around the running gear, roadwheels & tracks etc and perhaps you could take a very fine brush with a much lighter shade of green to the drivewheels to add some signs of wear wear to them teeth. Nothing heavy, remember, less is usually more.
If you don’t feel happy doing it ask away on here, do a search or look at some Pershing photos-there are plenty of colour Korean War Pershing photos kicking about. It’s pretty simple, even I can do it now!
Sorry if I’m teaching you to suck eggs but just my [2cnts]
Well done and keep up the good work buddy,

Great job for the first model… Don’t ever loose it. As you continue to build, use it as a gage of what else you have learned since that first build.
Good luck at the convention. Keep on building
Rounds Complete!!
Nice piece. You’ll only continue to get better as you move on. Good luck at the convention.
Very nice first armor build, very well done. Good luck to you at the convention.

Great jon on your first 1/35 build.
If I may offer a suggestion, if your tracks are still movable, rotate them so that the join is hidden behind the skirts.
Looking forward to seeing some more builds. [;)]
Good luck! [Y]
Having French in the family I believe he meant 'competition’ and not 'convention’ Anyhow get there early, look at all the entrants in categories that the model can enter. Then enter it in the most suited category, close to the deadline for judging. Also buy LOTS of raffle tickets when you first get there. 20$ in tickets will win you two or three times that in prizes!

Nice job on your first 1/35. Looks great. Good luck at the show.[t$t]
A quick improvement you can make: you’ve painted the commander’s oval view ports over. Maybe go over that with some gloss black, followed by some light dust? Good luck at the show
Looks real nice rergalrdess of the “build number”[:D] Keep it up.
Very nice t.a.p.!! Great overall build for your first 1/35 tank! Is it the Tamiya kit?
