ricky: i'm pretty happy about the way the M-1E1 turned out; now i've got to get a hookup for a digital camera so i can take some pics of my stuff. r u serious about the airbrush ? it would be so cool to have one, especially now that i'm on this armor binge.
thx for the encouragement!

Hoezit Hoezit
I hav only 1 model and that is a King Tiger(got pics just need them posted) and I am already feeling the darkness because I dont think I will ever look at anything else. I am glad I am not the only 1 out here who feels Armours grasp getting stronger and stronger until it has u and pulls u 2 the DARK SIDE.
Keep well.

Tigers, Tigers, Tigers (and Panthers) ![Evil [}:)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_evil.gif)
PS......
While the fly-boys get to sleep in their nice, warm barracks, we tread heads must sleep with our armor (sometimes under it). That is the reason we take care of our own ![Wink [;)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif)

Wow, I'm surprised at this much support thank you guys and girls it's fun to be on the dark side :-D.....
ShermanFreak: actually I have to Shermans under contruction, one is a early production one and the other one is a close support one, I just haven't finish them because I've been applying pretty much everything that I have learned from this forums into them.
Frostygirl: You are most certainly welcome, I'm glad that you finished your M1, I bet that it looks awesome, if you need an airbrush let me know I have one that I don't use at all, and I would be more than glad to provide it to another modeler.
And once again.... thank you all of you for your great support......

ricky:
i know exactly what u mean ! in the short time i've been modeling armor, i've done a Chieftain, Sheridan and Universal Carrier, M-1e1, and T 34 in 1/72 and am working on BRDM-3 and M41 walker bulldog in 1/35, Sherman M4 in 1/72 and Hetzer in 1/76... meanwhile, my model railroad lies dormant, and only the few pieces that i'd already started are getting any attention. maybe that's why they call it the dark side, 'cause it's soooo tempting !
btw, thx for the reply to my Abrams camo question way back... it looks pretty good in white, grey and green even if i had to hand paint it in hard edge camo instead of the soft pattern in GSM.

It's like a disease really.
When I stared modelling way way back in my college years, I was only interested in airplane models.
After a long long lay-off, I returned to the hobby late last year with an M4A4 and that was it. In less than a year and with about 24 kits done, 60% of those are armor kits. Still two more uncompleted kits. All I can think now is to buy more armor kits. I have almost forgotten about planes.
Am I in the "dark side" already?

You said it shermanfreak! Welcome rickyinc63 to the Dark Side indeed! Why is it that we tread-heads are despised for depicting scenes of the realities of war on the ground and fly-boys, by virtue of their lofty altitude, can distance themselves from the destruction their machines wrought, and the associated stigma? Just a rhetorical question, but I think it's true.

I'm disappointed in you Ricardo .... where's the Shermies ?
It's good that we have been able to lure you over to the dark side.
Hurry up and get a camera !!!!! We want pix.
Happy Modelling and God Bless

hello guys and girls....
I just want to say that the only thing I used to build was planes but after I started reading this forum a while back and I built my first armor vehicle I haven't even looked towards my aircraft boxes.... so far I have built a M1A1, M41, M3, M113, M20, 5 HMMWV, a Land Rover ambulance, 2 deuce and a half, a mutt, a Hanomag half track, and a Panther.... I just wish that I had a digital camera to take pictures and post them.
I also want to thank all of you for so many useful tips....
Ricardo
