Thanks for the great comment and compliments guys! OB, thanks for letting me know about that I hadn't known that technique. I will see what I can do to dull that down since it's already painted. Thanks for the tip for next time.

It has been awhile, but here is the finished Patton tank that I did for my Tribute Build in commemoration for all the friends I lost: Chad Lebo aka Zod Cliff aka New Mex Rich Durham and Carl aka Shellback, And one other friend that some former LEMurs may recognize: Ken Tinsley whom I've heard has not been doing very well. This tank is done as one from his old unit. Here it is my 1/35th scale Dragon M-48A3 Patton tank; the second only 1/35th scale tank I ever built. (My first was a Pz-38t done when I was eight)      Yes, the gun does look misaligned in this last pic; it is an optical illusion as I've already checked it for true. And there it is; thank you for looking in, comments are welcome. |

It's a beautiful tank, and a fitting tribute. Thanks for building it and posting it in their honor.

Thank you Bucky! I am honored to commemorate so many incredible friends and modelers with this tribute build.
Thank you Bruce! I can only hope I at least meet most of the high standards all of them exhibited in their own work.

Thank you Jed. In truth, all I did was to brush paint a couple coats of Testor's Dullcote over it until it dried nice and flat. I then lightly dusted it with the red earth color from the airbrush which cab barely be seen.
