Congrats Latch



Good to hear from you again Well deserved !

latch, nice work. let's see more. i'm one of the new kids on the block. you dudes are really showing me some professional looking work. someday when i grow up, i'll be a real modeller too. semper fi, mike

Thanks a bunch.

For the E100,
I heated the PE for the muzzle brake to get it to form around the muzzle brake. This E100 is the original kit. I haven't seen the new release. I just used a little putty to finish up whatever gaps there were on the muzzle brake. I don't remember them being that bad though.

For the M4A3E2,
There are no pictures of the work on the M4A3E2. Most of the scratchbuilding on it is limited to little details. And there are a lot of them on the suspension, the upper hull, and the turret. There's also lots of PE and Grant Line Bolts.

The BARV has completely rebuilt catwalks. I did not like the PE ones supplied with the kit, but other than that, the kit was very good for resin. Again, there is a pretty fair chunk of PE and Grant Line Bolts. (I need to buy stock in Grant Line!)

GRAND SLAM! WOW!

Kongratz, Latch. Very impressive. I bet they will bar you from joining next year. He-he-he.

Impressive display Latch !!!! Congratulations on your well deserved awards.

Good to have you back with us too. You just have to stop letting life get in the way !!!!

Very impressive array of work. Congrats, well deserved.

WOW!!

Congrats on the wins. I think those plaques would be all the critsim I would need though.

Wow they all areexcellint. I am working on the Big E right now. Hope it turns out that good. How did ya get the PE on the muzzle braketo work. Mine is too short. And congrats to ya we have another winner on the forum once again lifting my hopes up for the nationals in October.

The kits are:

The M4A3E2 and the BARV have a pretty good chunk of scratchbuilding and PE on them.
