Nems , I figure you could of scratch built about 14 models in that time , right ? Oh well , my excuse is I'm old ! I got another year under my belt last Sunday .......68 !!!!! I was around when plastic was invented ......  Tony , I hope that was a scream of approval and not due to you being in pain !  T and Leon , I,m glad it looks like a good match to you guys . Thanks again for looking in guys . |

Carl that is seriously sexy! the combination looks great and your weathering is superb, so what it took 6 months you can't rush perfection mate! so long as you enjoy yourself along the way

Pete , thanks ! True enough what you said about the hobby . I've been building models since the 1950's so there must be something appealing about in it for me , right ? Too bad all of them old models I built back then are gone. They would of been a kick to look at now! |

Hot damn that looks sweet.  Man the weathering on this is way too cool. The front end always catches my eye, the fenders mainly. The weathering/chipping is perfect. But now that gun and the weathering is killer...can't stop looking. I'd say you nailed this one Carl, gets two thumbs up from me. |

Yep it needs some ammo if nothing else Carl.
A figure or two would be nice but not required.
It's a KILLER

What a superb model Carl, I love the subtle variations in tone used, the weathering and the general look of the model it's modelling porn I tell you! It may have taken 7 months but you can see every hour was not wasted. A master work old chap!

Wow, what a finish. The B/W pic looks exactly like the real one, apart from the white chalk writing on the front shield.
Amazing, to say the least. As Rob said, two thumbs up.
