                        Here she is with bigger "Cousin"

                        (Michael, I use Badger's Anthem 155) For the 1/72 painting, I had the compressor set at 4 PSI and really thinned the Tamiya Acrylics. I would say the ratio was about 25 thin to 75 paint.

                        You rock, Erock!! Welcome to Braille!

                        You know, Ive been wanting to build a 72nd scale Tiger 1 in almost exactly the same style/scheme as that shown in your signature pic. That 1/16 goliath is awesome.

                        Keep the pics coming, please.

                        Supersweet, Eric!

                        Larry, I've seen that big Verlinden Panther, but I simply don't have the patience for that kind of undertaking!

                        Awwww, cute kitty Clown [:o)]

                        The panther looks awesome. The only thing that looks odd is the machinegun that would probably be a 30mm cannon in scale. If there is a way you can file it down (diameter) it would probably look better.

                        Overall, how was the kit's fit and finish? I see 1/72's at the hobby shop and would like to get some if the kits are good.

                        lol frosty. Doing it right the first time save time later. I have too much to do the screw up and have to do it again. This coming from someone who watched LOTR:TFOTR 4 times Mon. instead of doing homework. Am paying for it now lots to read.
