Thanks a lot guys , after all it is just a camouflaged 70 ton roadblock anyhow , but it was one mean looking machine , it must have been pretty imposing to have this thing shooting at you back then , then gun even in scale has some weight to it ( eduard barrel) , it was a fun build ( and frustrating at times ) first attempt at ABER but when you finally get to paint , photoetch makes the difference . I am going to do a T-34/85 next I think , I need different colors in my case , and then some good ole american stuff wouldn't hurt , maybe a sherman or a tank killing pershing , and to any of you you the do photoetch brass , I highly reccomend soldering the brass bits together instead of using CA glue to attach the parts to themselves you only need a tiny bit of flux and fine solder , you simply cannot break the bond without destroying the brass itself . Also a small torch , or in my case my gas stove , works best for the larger pieces Peace to all , and happy modeling , Shawn BTW I wish I could remember how I did the skin tones on my airborne figs in the last pic , they were done a while back , and both of them are the best I ever did , the german guy to the far right is new and he looks like an outcast from dawn of the dead !

Great work! The whole thing looks good, but I really like the tracks. I know they caused you grief, but the look fantastic.

Wasn't Pepsi the sponsor of desert storm? That was the only problem I could see....

Looks good. I really like the profile of this machine.

What's wrong with the last pic? Nothing!!!! It's proof that the US DOES have time-machines, albeit all they've been able to send back so far is a piece of plastic Big Smile [:D]

Shawn,
Great Job chief! The weathering is top notch... I like the blurred out camo a lot. Hope that interior comes together... What kind of airbrush do you use? Paint?

Keep it up bro, I can't wait to see the dio...

PS. sorry I coudn't keep up Big Smile [:D]

Man that is one great looking piece! All that work (including the eventual repair to your wall) is well worth it! It's so cool when it all comes together. I bet it would give Otto the chills.

where do you live thundergod , you can have my DML indies if you would like them , however the next Question would be , is it a porsche version or a henshell ? Porsche version , the links may not match up . Just let me know . The fenders are aber , they are a bit trickey to build , but as you can see they are pretty kool when done , my terrible camera does not do this model justice , but I do the best I can with what I got , as for the aber , if you can solder the larger bits together it is worth it , you need plumbers flux to pull it off and fine wire silver and lead solder, I am doing a marder 3 with aber fenders, the superglue was just making a mess , so i tried soldering ,and the results were just awesome , you cannot break the bond without destroying the brass , if you are careful there is no more residue than with CA glue

Looks awesome love it. I just got this kit only differance is I think is mine came with transport tracks instead of combat tracks and no fenders, and a few photo etched parts is there some where I can get the combat tracks and other goodies?

Nice job, Spec. I think that figure in black uniform does not belong there. The colors just do not match that of the tank. He-he-he.

That is absolultey correct scorn !Big Smile [:D] Armourmaster the kit is DML JT henschell highly modified with that ABER stuff ( 2 kits of it , fenders and the regular goodies , What fun ! Banged Head [banghead] eduard barrel ( hence the need for barrel viagra or a bottle ) the thing has some weight to it , the tracks are model kasten , ( don't even go there , this will be my last MK kit ever !)Banged Head [banghead] , now to weathering tracks got my usual black , rust job over , silver drybrush and graphite , the whole tank got washed , chipped,then dusted with thinned out humbrol earth , Black pastel on the main gun and mahine gun front earth dust on the rest . The commander drinks to much ,and his army airborne cohorts drink too much coca cola !
