Very nice Bill! I really love your builds and your build logs that go with them. They really do help us noobs that are attempting to get back into the hobby. I cant wait to see what you do next...I hope its a King Tiger since you havent done a WIP with one of those yet.

Regards,

Chris

Thanks Eric! Glad you like her and have to agree on the effectiveness of the pigments in this case. A little bit went a very long way!

Chris, thanks for the kind words and glad the build logs are helpful for you! I've been pondering what to do next and I think I'm going to tackle the DML Nashorn Premium kit that I've had in the stash for a while. The last few builds have all been close topped so I think it's time to do another open top just to keep some variety. I did a JT not too long ago and just did a Tiger P right before this one and don't do too many of the "big cat" builds so it might be a while before I do a KT...there is one in the stash but it doesn't have a due date assigned yet with the work bench.

Bill,

That is a very nicely executed build!  There are a couple of things off the top of my head that I really like about this one: the subtle two tone camo (very slick!), the side turret numbers (very well done over the complex surfaces), it looks driven not thrashed (though that does have its place), the missing fender (just to show it is not showroom fresh.....I wonder what New Tank smell is like).  Thank you for posting this one.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Dave! I imagine "New Tank" smell could be quite the seller in certain circles...just the right mix of fuel, spent ammunition, and sweat and you're there! Big Smile

OK....

New tank,AFV, SP weapon or anything military has a slight smell of paint and metal

Used rank, AFV, SP weapon, etc. has a slight smell of the dirt in the area with and overriding smell which is a mix of BO and muzzle blast (wolfs pu$$y), depending how long it and the crew have been in the field and how much firing has been done

Ahhhhhhh......the smell of muzzle blast (WP)....there is nothing like it......I get a Censored just thinking about it.!!!

BTW....soldiers in the field never smell the BO as they all have BO and thus the BO "sense of smell" is lost!!

Rounds Complete!!
