M-109 A3GA1

MM,

Looks good.  I have the same kit stashed away somewhere in my basement.  I like the way A.I. painted, but looks like rust was overdone on tracks.  Unless the vehicle was parked in one place for a long time, rust doesn't form like that (at least from my own experience).  Once the vehicle starts moving around, rust kind of dusts(?) off and more bare metal color surfaces. 

Look's lovely.

Many thanks for your kind comments!

m1garand, if that was rust, it was really way too much. But I think it's mud rather...

MM,

I thought of that may be mud as well, but rubber pads look way too clean if that was the mud.  Either way, it still is an excellent build and love it!

a very very nice build there!!!!!! If you dont mind me asking how do you get that dirt line on the bottom of that armor plating by the tracks...can you do it without an airbrush?

All these models are very nicely done, and I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I have to question the point of posting all these models when "Art Instructor" is not available to comment on them, describe his builds and techniques or give and take feedback.

     It's nice to see them, but I can see photos of excellent models on any number of sites. Isn't this supposed to be an INTERACTIVE forum?  

     I ask this because I've seen several people noe ask about technique and other questions and yet I've never once seen a reply from "Art Instructor"  I hope this doesn.t sound harsh but speaking for me, personally, IMHO, I'd like to see more of "model maniac"'s work, and less of these from this anonymous, silent, professional builder--or better yet, have him chime in once in a while about his formidable technique and obvious skill!
