A couple of finished builds.

Post by Stuart »

I had a bit of a mad dash over the weekend and managed to get these two finished up - Matchbox's 1/72 M-1 Abrams and their older 1/76 Challenger. Both are brush painted as always, with a mix of paints. I useded a few washes (and some Tamiya weahtering powders) on the challenger and mudded up the Abrams to cover up the bad reaction I had between the paint and clear coat.

Over all I'm pretty pleased with them.

Very nice builds Stuart!

Difficult to tell they aren’t 1/35 scale, very well painted!

Fine looking work you got there! Bravo!

Nice job Stuart. I really like the camo on the Challenger.
Thanks,

Great finishes on both tanks Stuart, and excellent recovery on the paint mishap on the Abrams! :shoutout: Another Bravo on the Abrams base as well with the muddy torn up tracks through the grass, an excellent touch! :shoutout:

Thanks Carlos - it's a very simple base but it needed something.
