Just an observation, use some lighter pigment against that paint job, it'll really look good

She's looking good John . Just don't rush the weathering stuff, keep it simple and step back now and then to look at what you have. Maybe have a scotch and then consider the next step Looks great, John! I also like to incorporate Scotch into my modeling regimen.

Thanks fellas !! Well I used some Dust effects from AK, I liked it on the hull but not on the wheels, I will clean up the wheels a little. Anyway, the .50 cal MG is on. This one is done.
Still a lot to be done on the other kits in progress. One IDF tank done, another will take it's place soon. After checking Duke's Russian lineup, I'll have to get something on the bench too...
Stay tuned !

So after that Tamyia Sherman M51, I picked another IDF subject,
And a few more Cold War Russian Kits too, that will follow ... and maybe another one for the Silver Arrows line-up,
But before that an update on the status of my bench :
- A-Model Yak-27 K-8 :: fuselage closed, needs primer. Started working on the engines. - A-Model Kalinin K-5 :: Need to finish the passenger seats and close the fuselage with cockpit. - HobbyBoss Mig-17 :: Need to paint the seat and cockpit.
-Miniart T-44 :: Finish the side walls with interior details.And close the Hull. Paint the wheels -Meng's Panther A :: Paint the wheels. Start the tracks. -Meng's Bradley M3A3 :: Paint the wheels. Start the tracks. -Tristar Panzer 38(t) E/F :: Build and paint the tracks, put the fenders on. -Trumpeter BRDM-1 :: Paint the wheels and finish the lower details. -Academy M1151 :: Build and paint wheels and doors.
And... that's it.

I take it, then, I am the only one who can’t see any pictures?

Lovely finish on that M51, like they said, a little bit of dusting on those brand new looking bits..
And starting on that group of models.. you start so many things at the same time..

I won't start them all at once. The Magach will be the first. The BMP's or the Mig, I'm not sure yet.
I have a lot of tracks & wheels to paint with the Bradley and the Panther, Pz 38 and T-44 so I might pick the Mig...

Take your time with extensive Legend conversion John, they can be a tad tricky
