Very very nice Duke!! [tup][tup] I’ve started to really like braille scale armor and these are all fine examples! Great job with the paint schemes and weathering!! I’ve got several 1/72 armor kits I’m dying to get to and these just fuel my fire!!

It would be really cool to see all of these lined up…any chance of team photo!!![(-D]

Thanks Ernest! I’m glad I’m able to motivate others to build this small scale armor. I love it and have been building it for 30+ years. I appreciate the compliments on the weathering; I’m still trying to perfect it. I can’t wait to see what you get built too.

Team photo. Hmmmm. I think I can arrange that. Stay tuned.

As requested, here is the group photo of everything together. Enjoy!

Thanks again for the great comments.

Wow sweet work there Duke, on the little tank gun, did you airbrush the camouflage or hand brush it?

Thanks, Jim

Cant wait to see them this month Mark! I really like the KV and the 8th ID M-60A3… The Marine M-60 w/ERA looks great now that its toned down.[tup]

Thanks Jim. On the little gun, I hand painted the camouflage with a brush.

Thanks Carlos. I like it now too. I knew it would tone down and look better once I shot a dust coat over it.
