Thanks you kindly Martyn and Paul. Good to have you chaps chime in on this one.

Taking a short break from this and want to spend a couple of hours doing the KV tracks. Will have that update soon. I also am thinking of adding some color to this baby. We'll see.

[spud]

saw one of these at teh show and he was looking for almost €60 for it......

[406 Silverado]

Thanks jackwagon, much appreciated mate.

Spud, did you buy it...LOL

Well I have to charge the camera and then I'll pop some pics of Bertha. Then I will take some good final pics and that will be it for this model. Stay tuned for the last update...

[406 Silverado]

First I'd like to thank you all for following along and commenting on the fun project of mine. But now it's done and here are some final pics for you all. Please let me know what you think and if you spot anything that needs to be touched up. many eyes see more than two ey..

















thanks to John T. for touching up the pics for me. These are much better. I am still playing with the camera to get the right setting.....then that will change for the next model


Thanks again to all of you for the support, now it's time to do a few nice wrecked tanks....ala scratchmod of course ;D

[406 Silverado]

Thanks Spud and John.

Spud I can understand bro. hey, I'm doing a Panther as well...LOL...soon and side by side with the JP. I need to make some burnt wheel masters for both.

[wbill76]

Super sweet work as always Rob! The chalk marks and the unfinished metal appearance just make this thing even more brutish to behold! That and the color contrast with the Pz I turret and thw dust/dirt weathering really make it an eyefull in a good way.

[bullardino]

Very nice Rob, it's a masterpiece

[406 Silverado]

Bill and luigi, thanks fellas.

Yeah Bill that was the plan from the start....lots of color contrast.

[danb.]

Hello Rob,

Do i have to say that i learned a lot of this build...
It was / is even a start for me to test several things whit different colors and weathering effects...
(raw steel,primer paint,....)

No need to say that this is one of my favorites !
Thanks for sharing,
Grtz,
Gert

Rob, brilliant work mate, love it all. It might sound funny but I can kinda see that rolling along in a Star Wars movie.

cheers

[406 Silverado]

thanks fellas, much appreciated.

jackwagon, yeah I didn't feel like painting this one so she's pretty much naked....((LOL))

Ross, now that you mention it, yeah pretty far out looking vehicle.

[johnt]

When this kit came out I had images in my head of this beast with some freaky steel effects and weathering. Well your rendition is better than anything I could have imagined, frankensteins monster in slabs of carbon steel! This is the best!!!

Cheers

Rob this is great the only thing that I see wrong is a spot on the first picture just between the wheels.
