Thanks Smeagol and Buddho---Sometimes it is hard to remember how small these buggers are, but when I saw my thumb and finger in the pic of the commander it made a good comparison...

You should be proud of those PE details, they really are amazing at that size.  I cant with with stuff that small, I always loose it.

(side note, little soliciting, would you be ineterested in joining the armor secret santa this year?)

Its a Christmas Groupbuild.  Everyone that signs up will get a name of someone else that signed up.  You buy a kit (dont tell them!) wrap it, put a christmas card in it, and mail it off to your secret santa reciever person.  Everyone will send off a gift, and get a gift from someone else.  Jon has been running one in the aircraft section for 3 years in a row now.  Its really about the giving then the recieving (though thats great).  We all open the gifts on christmas, and send shots of the gift, and whatever else was sent along, cards, pictures, whatnot.  It should be alot of fun, we have I believe 8 people so far.

I hope you can join up.  Im trying to not limit it to just armor, but armor and figures.  Mainly because a good hunk of tank kits come with figures, and a good hunk of us that build tanks build figures as well for them, or visa versa, figure builders doing armor for dios and such.

A lot of good references and a whole lot of practice! Real pics of re-enactors in contemporary garb is very helpful as a lot of artists' color plates are wrong...

Thanks, Hammer--I usually replace stock styrene heads w/ resin ones...Alpine figgies usually have the best heads on the market, and each of their figs comes w/ a choice of two different adorned heads so they help stock the spare head box nicely...

Are the wires your addition or part of the photoetch set?

Yes, the wiring is actually PE but since it is soooooo thin it really looks round...
