M1A1 w Mine Plow finished Kosovo

M1 looks great! Have you put any thought into having the plow lookin used? Im not sure if its the flash but you can see realy distinct boarders on your decal on the main gun. I love the camo schem, looks realy good! Thanks for sharin.

It has been weathered w/Pastels and Steel paint it just doesnt show up very well in the Photos, I will post some better pics when I get a new battery. Thanks for the advice it could use a little more weathering but I am always afraid I will over do it.

Good job on the M1A1,I like it.You may want to take your pics outside with natural light that way your weathering shows up better.Digger

Looking good Jess. Don't feel alone on weathering, I feel the same as you. I thought I ruined a build the other day, but after observing it more, it grew on me so to speak.

That looks much much better than my M1 in 3-tone scheme. Great job.

I wouldnt say that Dwight Ive seen your collection of Abrams and I thought they were awesome , but thanks for the comments guys.

I'm no expert with M1A1's, but your build looks quite good. I do agree with you about the weathering, sometimes it's better to underdo rather that overdo. I think this is especially true of a modern tank like an M1Aa that is likely to be well maintained and cleaned throughout its service life. This in contrast to WWII stuff that was maintained in poor field conditions on a much more ad-hoc basis, and thus usually looked pretty beat-up in short order. Look forward to seeing some more detailed photos.

Very nice. I likes alot :)

Very nice build. The 3-tone scheme is always good to look at. Which kit is this?"

this is the Tamiya kit w/ various parts from the OIF Abrams I thank you guys for the feedback it always helps to here what you guys think.

I really like it Jess. I think inspite of the picture quality that it's a pretty sharp looking builde. I like the camo scheme, and especially the mine plow. I plan to build a similiar version in the future. The mine plow kind of scared me when I first saw it in the DML kit.
Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Semper Fi, mike

Nice finish on this one jess! I particularly like the finish you got with the figures, great detail and they look like they belong in their poses.

Yeah the mine plow is kind of intimidating and the chains are not easy, I had to use very fine wire to secure them to the proper holes, but once it is all together it looks quite good, thanks again for the feedback everyone.
