Thanks a lot guys. It feels really good to be coming to the end of some builds; I can see ways to improve in the future, but I am proud of them nonetheless.
The T-34 fuel drums are the kit parts, sanded of detail, attacked with a motor tool, sanded smooth and detailed with styrene and sprue. I thought quite hard about AM parts, as I posted, but I enjoyed this way a lot more, saved some dough, and know that they are 'mine"! I am in the process of painting the figures for the T-34, which I have put a lot of work into modifying to show a certain scene. I also need to put tow cables and spare tracks on there, and put some mud over some bad indy link planning!
Live and learn, huh?
Dio planned for the 223, too. I am 6 behind Dwight, and falling.
Thanks again.
