Jasper BreurThose might just be the best 1:35 faces I have ever seen on a figure, bravo!

Dave FlittonI thought the first picture was an actual picture from Korea, had to look real close after seeing the other pictures.

RingoCalamityThanks guys! I was tremendously lucky with those faces, they were 2 of the first 3 faces I've done and to be honest, I haven't had any that looked as natural since! Lol

Hanno KleineckeThe most realistic looking figures I've seen so far, really had to look twice to be sure that this is no real photograph from the Korean war (pic no.1)! Outstanding 👍

Stephen LesleyThat first photo had me thinking "where did he get that Korean War photo from?". Seriously one of the best tank builds I have seen. Beautiful weathering, realistic without being over the top. Just wow. Out of curiosity how did you manage to blend the decals so well, especially on the front?

RingoCalamityThank you! What's funny to me is that this one photographed well, but it's not anything spectacular in person. Side note - the headlights - I used the Testors Clear Parts glue stuff and in these photos you can see its not dried and is still milky around the corners - took months for it to dry completely! 😂 The decal blending on the front, it was a real battle to get the decals to settle down over the various features, and in a few spots I definitely had to bust out the paint brush to make some repairs. I think I just weathered the heck out of it, if you were able to get a closer look at it I'm sure they don't look all that well blended. My philosophy is "good enough is good enough". The stencils on the sides of the turret are actual stencils, I messed up the decals and so ordered some, first time I ever used them! I can't remember if that goes for the red and white or just the red.
