The kits are all Tamiya, with Verlinden stowage sets. Paints are all testors model master. It is just amaizing what you can mail order!! Ive gotten the tanks pretty dirty on the backsides with pastel chalk. With the eye, it looks awesome but for some reason I just cant get it to show up with the digital camera. Perhaps I will go back in and darken it a little.

Wow! great job especially for your first try at armor. Only thing I might add is that the vehicles look real clean, so maybe som sand on the vehicles. But I am not in Iraq sooo, I wouldn' t really know how dirty the vehicles there are.

Aside from that everything looks good to me. All the little things that add up, like the radio, ration boxes and the ice chest, and tarps etc. All that stuff adds a lot of detail.
What kits did you use for this?
Great job, and stay safe over there!

Hi gang!
Well, here it is fresh from my desk to your computer screens, half a world away. I have built this for our headquarters here as I will never be able to take it home. Bringing Iraqi sand back to the USA is verboten, besides, USPS would have this thing in about a zillion pieces by the time it got from the war zone to my house. So I hope that you enjoy it, please feel free to comment on it as I am a big boy and can take your comments with grace and use your criticisms for my next build. By the way, I should mention that this is my first real stab at armor, I used to be a 1/48 WWII airplane guy. That has all changed now that I am here. Oh ya, by the way, my first name is Ron.
