M1A1 Abrams... my first Armor model
I'm a dyed in the wool Science Fiction modeler... mostly Macross series stuff from Hasegawa, but I thought I'd venture away from my comfort zone and try an armor model. Here is my first attempt. I'm really pleased with it. I found this Tamiya kit very simple to complete. My biggest difficulty was the figures... and I've determined I need to invest in some oil paints (I just use acrylics). In these pictures you will find that it doesn't show nearly the amount of weathering that went on. Perhaps its the photos... I used an oil wash and pastels, but doesn't look very weathered in these pictures.
I would love any constructive feedback...
