WOW! Indifferent

Okay, this is one of the best Marders I've ever seen...outstanding finish...love the fact that the whitewash was left off of  (or worn off) the running gear...muzzle brake is incredible...perfect amount of weathering, IMO...Dragon kit?

1st, a hearty thank you.

Anthony...  Just can't beat Friuls.  But the price is a killerSad

Bil...I was a struggle.  Worth it?  Not sure.    I think some of the resin blots on that web site on the plastic upper armor would look good too.

Bodge... glad to see you back buddy.

Sorry Manny we passed each other in cyber space.   Many thanks my friend.  Well, yes it is the Dragon kit... for the wheels and the lower hull and the gun.  The rest is all brass.  Check the WIP on page 2 in the other thread.

Sublime finish Marc. I do like the lower half with the weathering. All of your hard work DID pay off IMO. The muzzle cover is a nice touch. I assume you scratched it?

Eric, Jester... thanks so much the comments.  

Eric the muzzle cover is shirt tissue, white glue and some ship rigging rope.

YesYesYes Outstanding! YesYesYes It was truly a pleasure following your WIP all the way to the end.  I haven't seen anybody build one with that much PE... bet it weights seven pounds by now.  It won't hurt for you to submit to FSM to have your work published... go for it!

Hope I am next to finish my work...

Marc, I do read through the Marder Madness build but don't reply. Now for your Marder,

Your Killing me here, that should be on a magazine cover. It's one of the best builds I've seen in a good while.

Congrats and well done.

Terry.

Mike, my mind has been in the gutter so long there is just no hope for it... and I'm not complainingWink

Hey Terry, don't see you here half as much as I'd like to lately.  Thanks so much for stopping in for a look and for the compliment.
