Another fine build. I like your building techniques and weathering.

Thank you gentlemen.

That's the Dragon kit, #6218 if I recall correctly.

That looks great. The weathering is perfect for deset conditions. Could you imagine having to go into battle in that thing?  105°F and sand blowing through every opening? Not to mention the armor was BS. Not cool man

Some very brave men rode these beasts into battle.

On both sides of the conflict.

Somewhere there's a YouTube video of a crewman frying an egg on the tool box lid of a PzII midday in the sun.

Thank you.

The track links are so darn small you cannot simply slather cement on the assembled track run. No, you must apply the cement link by link with the small brush from the Tamiya cement jar. 

Too much will melt the track links.

Don't ask how I know this.........

Very cool, I love the faded look you've done here- does look like she's been baking in the desert sun for some time. 

I tried to build a Dragon Panzer I with those tracks some time back, I ended up having to shove it back into the box. My eyeballs just don't work that small (guess I need to buck up and buy an Optivisor). Huh?

All the coloring and fading are expertly
carried out.
 
                                                      
Very "well done" (and that wasn't just
about the eggs either).     http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/smilies/flipeggs.gif
 
 
The base and the tank are very complimentary to each other.
