Thanks Kylwell, an excellent site! I'll check it out thoroughly before starting my second kit. Love it!

Good . Let's see what you can do!

 Another thing you might look at are the skirts of current and WWII armour, where the low plating would hit rocks, debris, and underbrush. If you extrapolate that to your armour, that could provide some real benefits for realism.

 
Hope this helps!

If you mean preshading the panel lines, I can see where that'd be a good way to break up the model's skin....time to learn how. As for the base, I got caught up making the grass look realistic and neglected to weather the groundwork with a wash to add depth. Thanks for the input!

Hey there,

The build itself looks pretty good. You might want to work a bit on varying the paint job to create a less uniform set of surfaces. The vehichle could definitely benefit from some metallic and weathering effects, and the ground cover could have a slight variation in the earth tones, just for a start.

 

Good beginning. Keep going!

Not to bad, different but not bad at all

Well Done

Not a bad kit. Wish I knew more about the fiction storyline behind these models like my WWII modeling subjects! I made some guesses as to where to put this and that and am fairly pleased with the result. I'd recommend this kit to anyone looking for a quick weekend build. I'd appreciate any comments or constructive criticism. Thanks.
