Nice touch adding the figs, don't be too hard on yourself in that department, it takes practice like anything else! |

That looks just like I remember Leon. Dust was everywhere at 29 Palms and any crew gear was covered as much as possible. You can just wrap a lump of boxes in tissue, paint it like a tarp and fill the turret bustle rack. Not a lot was stowed externally then.

Nice work on the figures, Leon.
I have a tendency to ignore the crew in my kits, when they obviously make a major difference, as you've proven.

Oh yeah...waiting on tracks...start a kit!! Waiting on dinner, start a...oh wait, that is how I have so many on the bench!! LOL!! Yeah, I'm in the same boat Todd. That's how this happens:  Looking good Leon! I did the Tamiya M60A2 w/ERA a loooong time ago...really like the MERDC scheme. Might have to do it again. Heh. |

Thanks Dupes,much appreciated.Another MERDC scheme sounds good to me.I also did the Tamiya M60A2 many moon ago,and mine was the Starship model with the weird turret that looked like a spaceship.

Bruce,thanks buddy.I'm really happy with how this turned out. Andy,thank you.Really appreciate you looking in and you comments .Have to agree with you on being a favorite.I really like this desert camo. Prof,thank you.Happy to hear you like the end results. Kenny,appreciate you looking in and your comment .As far as the desert world,i can only think of the California national guard and the armor at Fort Hood in Texas uses this camo.Hopefully Agent G might shed some more light on this. |
