M109A2 Howitzer, AFV 1/35 Improved photos!, oct, 25.

Stikpusher,

I see your point and you are correct.

Also forgot to mention, but there are 2 different mud colors, one is the clear "dry mud" and there is also a very dark "wet" mud. Photos are not that good so that you can see the details.

Take a look at this detail, there is "latte" and "mokacchino" different colors....

LOL! Are those "Starbucks" brand pigments for the mud? ;-) I like the mix of the wet and dry muds. Just a side note, but you may want to wrap some black thread onto the spool on the back door to simulate the commo wire carried on that.

Hugo - You already have a ton of comments including some good info from my "brother" Gino and Karl. The most important thing is you are happy the way it turned out. Every build is an expansion of skills, keep it going.

Rounds Complete!!

Hi,

Thanks a lot, I know I have a lot to learn.

Sorry for keeping this post "alive" for so long, but I thought that exposing it to the "field" provides a more suitable scenario and reality. I played with the photos and Im so fortunate to have such a nice natural scenario in my backyard with a constant fuming/erupting volcanoe and today is a nice winter day.

I have more pics on my photobucket page if you care to look around.. so Im uploading a couple of the ones look the nicest to me.

I will send one of this FSM... 

Hugo, let me echo what others here have said---you're doing fine, just fine. You're sharing your work in the community, asking for help and advice, accepting critique like a man, and striving to improve, As a modeler and a forum member, there's not much better that you can do! 

The new photos look great. All in all, it's a fine model!

Garzon, with this being your number 4 AFV build, (and your 113 being the 3rd?), you are off to an excellent start. And keeping a post alive for so long is a good thing. You obviously made an impression here and people responded.Thats when this hobby and forum are at their best I think.

Looks to me as if it turned out great!

The doog, thanks a lot, as I said, a long way I ave to learn. Im always  thankful of your comments.

Stikpusher, you are right, this forum and its people is awesome.

68 GT, thank you sir.

g, I like those new pics!
