Very nice work on both the tank and the figs. Love the subtle weathering a lot.

Thanks guys! Sorry for slow response... had to work today... 12 hours. I am dead tired but it will not stop me from going down to my work bench later tonight.
Yeah, I was still learning so I didn't do a lot of streaking with this build Chaffee. Just dark washes and pigments. After that Chaffee build, I took a big leap doing a lot of new techniques on an old Tamiya (1975) Panzer IV Ausf H and I was very happy how it came out. So I am still learning and that's why I really like this forums but it is overloaded with great tips.

5 dollar kits are the best (well, 2 dollar kits are pretty awesome too)! Nice build.

A very fine result on the old Chaffee, it's not that bad a kit considering it's age and I have it in my stash half build  it should end up as a French from Indo-China. |

Dicky- Don't know why but I have been building old kits for a while. I promised myself my next build will be a recent release kit! Thanks for looking! Eastrock- Thanks!!! Dupes- Exactly! I had to build it but I spent about $60 on aftermarkets. LOL Duh?!?  Jackh- I almost went for that too as it had nice decals from Indo-China war. Then there was a group build for Korea War so it was a perfect timing.

yep, can't beat the cheap kits to practice on. I used to do a lot of them back when, but now any kit will do for experimenting.
