Tamiya kit, 1/35 scale~ :) My second armor, my second OD and my first Mediterranean theatre work~ :love: Errr....Finally "done" after almost a year. ^^; (* I got this kit June 6, 2005. :XD:)

Same methods as my first work. ^^ The kit was older than me (*1978 :omg:) so there were a lot of flash and missing details, extreme sanding and improvisations remedied the situation. :D I thought I'd go all out on the dusting since the tank operated in the desert. :nod:

The replacement cupola M1919 .30 Browning MG with the accompanying tripod and ammunition boxes came from Academy's US Machine Gun Set. :heart: The other stowage options were given to my by :hug:

Markings depict tank 2, C company, 1st Battalion, 13th Armored Regiment of the 1st U.S. Armored Division in Tunisia, 1942. My first time working with decals so please forgive the silverings.:blush: (*and chipped ID band. :XD:) About the tracks, yes I know the links are all in the wrong places but it did come with the kit (*and it was made of vinyl) so there was nothing I can do about it...^^; And I cannot afford those expensive aftermarket replacement tracks. :no:

Thanks loads as usual to for the pics~~ :thanks: :handshake:

Ah, np~ ^_^

Sis u know of those scale models na ginagawa ng ma architects/FA people? Prang mejo similar ito dun. :D Only hindi cya gusali, isa cyang tankeng pandigma. :heart:

Same principles - first assembly, bubuohin mo cya, then painting - you color the parts appropriately (*i.e. dapat kahoy cya so you color it na color wood, bakal = steel color, etc...) then adding the details. ^^ The objective is to make the thing as detailed and realistic depende sa "modeler", and to have fun. :w00t: (*kaya nga naging hobby cya :rofl:)

Dito sa kit, hobby enamels, hobby spray paints chaka artist oils ang nagamit. :nod:

OK na? :? :D Thankiesh~ :wave:

Thanks~ :thanks: I've just started actually :blush: There's still much to learn. ^^;

Hmm... I'm currently working on an M-151A1 'Mutt' from the Vietnam War ^^ What keeps me from workin into more recent subjects is that they have this camo scheme that's hard to paint. :omfg: :rofl:

Lol U said it. ^^; I've pretty much a lot of pending works too. :XD: Hey while in Japan why not do a few models?~ p(^_^)q There are lots of model makers in Japan~ :excited:

Ah~^^ It's just blue paper with the model I think ^^;
