"Thunder Run" Abrams-12/19 - Calling this one done

[wbill76]

Nice adaptation to the lenses Marc, and the decals for the watch faces is a cool 'borrowed' touch as well.

[Leon]

Looking uber cool Mark.Great idea on the shades and watches.

[paulh.]

Ferkin' hell man - superb!

[wouter]

wow mate, those figs really add to the Abrams, great stuff, especially the extra detailing you're doing!

Cheers

[rbaer]

Oh my, very nice!

[wing_nut]

First, my apologies to all those that responded after the last update. I guess I have not mastered the mobile app as well as i thought since the acknowledgment of all you kind words is not there.


The only thing left will be to add the crew mics when they arrive but for all intents and purposes this is one for the books. Thanks to all that have followed.
















Last but not least, a bumper sticker shot. "If can you see this... you about to have a very bad day"

Absolutely convincing result! Put it in a picture with some desert scening in the background and there is no telling apart from the real thing!

Cheers,

Marc, that my man, is one sweet effin Abrams right there. Damn fine job and i dig the spent cartridges and belt clips on the turret....nice touch bro.

[Deleted]

Yes indeed that's one mighty fine Abrams love the stowage and the spent shell casings, really gives it an in theatre look. Cut brass rod for the casings by any chance?

[wing_nut]

Deano-Thanks. I know what you mean. I really want to do another M1.

Dan- Thanks. I've sent some pics to CeeBee. "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLE!"

Thanks Tobi, I may try that. But I generally suck at Photo-shopping stuff.

Thanks Gary

Pete, Thanks. The clips and casing are from Live Resin. They are really nice with the right looking taper at the end. But given the really small size I bet some 0.5" brass rod would have been just as good... and way less of a PITA.

[heico]

Wauw, the clips and casings looks very cool! An absolute 'gain' on your model!

[Deleted]

Cheers Marc will have to look out for some of those, the clips in particular are something I don't think I've ever seen on a model

[rbaer]

Absolutely lovely!

[deafpanzer]

Beautiful job you have done to an Abrams! I love the stowage the best... it simply bring life to it!

It has moved higher on my wish list... maybe I will buy one with my Christmas money if I get any.

[imatanker]

Marc, a long journey with a very fine destination. I know that the rest of the guys have mentioned the ammo and I've got to do the same, it just makes the build  Fantastic work Bud.

[Tojo72]

Another fantastic job

[wing_nut]

Hey guys, can't thanks you enough for all the nice things said. Coming from this crew it really means a lot my friends.

[wouter]

great stuff dude, final additions are cool indeed! Pitty I can't finish my Abrams in time anymore, would be a great MoM Abrams fest, well, the choise will be hard already now. This is just amazing mate!

Cheers

[bbrowniii]
