Hi Adrian,

Sophisticated Finishes Real Rust. Then toned down with black drybrushing.

Best regards

Hi Dave

Some grease on the recoil slides and I'd be convinced it was real.

Truly amazing piece of work.
best regards
Tim

Best regards

Hi All,

Finally the last major components of the M7 are done. Didn't enjoy making the gun shield but made myself crack on till it was done. Just the traversing wheel to add to the left side of the gun, the M4 Range Quadrant and M43 Telescope to add to the left side and a few tool straps.

Once they are done I can start on the stowage and weathering.

Best regards,

Dave

Dave,
This model takes the price for best Allied Armortek vehicle. Amazing details, right down to the texture of the armour, and cut edges of the plate. I cannot fathom the hours that went into this! Absolutely stunning.
