It's been a slow month for me so far modeling-wise, but I did manage to get these over the finish line:
Modelcollect 1/72 scale Russian BAL-E Coastal Defense System:
And this Shelf Queen, the Pegasus Hobbies 1/72 scale M46 Patton tank in Marine Corps livery:
There's a couple more finished items, feel free to check them out.
Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome!

Those turned out nice Mark! The Russian missile vehicle looks nice, but I am a huge fan of the Pershing/Patton family.

I really like the washes you put as a weathering topcoat on those tanks! What is that?

Thank you Lyle!
Thank you Gary! I agree, then again, it's a Marine!
Thank you Impisi!
Thank you Carlos! I agree, I'm also a huge fan of the Pershing/Patton family of tanks. I was beyond thrilled when Pegasus Hobbies released their Pershings and M46 Pattons in 1/72 scale... the first company to ever do so.
Thank you Bruce! That is actually Tamiya weathering powders that i wet down, slathered on the tank,, then removed anything that I didn't like or was too much. I'm still practicing to get it right, but I'm slowly getting better.
