Iraqi Scud B

WOW, That's GORGEOUS!

I have one of these unbuilt, and planned the very same scheme for it--you did a beautiful job!

Hey, you didn't display this at SYRCON a few years ago, did you?

I some of these are not so recent, but I always like a bunch of picture threads floating around, it gives me something to oogle.

I've always wanted to put one of these into a forced perspective shadow box dio (with some backlight), with a green filter covering the viewing viewing window to simulate an NVD image and have some shadowy US Spec Ops guys in the forground slowing moving down to blow one of these up...

But yours looks great...looked great...heh... 

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Mg.Mikael - I guess I do kinda have a Tank factory- I work on something almost every night; in fact almost every free moment I get. I got the model bug BAD -(I tell the wife it's what keeps me sane). But this build is a couple years old - I recently discovered the secret to posting images - thanks to a new camera, and I have years worth of stuff to share with you guys!

Doog -Nope that wasn't mine - I almost took it to the last AMPS convention in Maryland, though. Wish I had - the theme was desert storm!

Eagle Bait...

Nice work...

Really great work! Something different and interesting, LOVE the base! Quickie rundown on the base?

Doog - Thanks for the compliment. I really admire your stuff and coming from you that is praise indeed! 

Hans - Eagle bait! LOL!!! So very true!

JMart - The bottom of the base is from a 21st century toys 1/18th scale Panther my son got for Xmas one year. I took a piece of styrofoam and rough shaped it, glued it to the plastic base, covered it with white glue, then sprinkled kitty litter and good old fashioned dirt from the yard. When dry I painted and dry brushed it, and instant Iraqi desert!

Thats a blast form the past, I barely remember seeing one built when it first came out. Seem to remember it was massive in size. You have picked an excellent subject for drybrushing, great work, great painting.

Heh... Too bad you don't still have it... I can picture it in a dio with all the doors open and the terrified crew running for their lives from it because an Eagle is rolling in hot on it, and they don't wanna be part of "The Mother of All Battles" anymore...
