Thanks John. Much appreciated.

Thanks Bob.

Thanks, Dick! I appreciate the kind words. Chris

Hello guys. I got some very good suggestions, so I have made some corrections. First, no more magic or magnetic bags. I used some drafting linen to make the straps. This is what I use to make flags on my figures, so I thought that it work well for straps and I think they came out ok. I also corrected the label to reflect the correct markings and I used some Vallejo pigments to dirty up the tires between the tracks. Please all coments and advise are welcome. Thanks, Chris

I took your advice and the advice of a friend and swiched out the smoke grenade launchers and painted the caps of the road wheeels black. Thanks for the tips. Chris

I think we can forgive you Duke. I don't even think that I can count that high. Chris Fontenot

This is not an area that I have ever worked in, but I think it looks very cool! Nice work. Chris Fontenot

I think it came out pretty darn nice. Great job. Chris Fontenot

Dick, I love the job you are doing on this project. Very cool. Chris

Thanks Mark.

No Chris, I paid full price for mine. The Fenderbender is OOP now. I think that they were too expensive to make, but I love it. I will never sell mine. They also sell "The Block" which is just perfect texture for cutting pe. That is my free testimonials for today...LOL. They do have a couple of other products that I own, but I ain't doing any more for free...LOL.

Thanks guys. I am learning a lot so far. I have done pe before on my ships and a little on a couple of small tank projects, but this is big for me. Also, the reason I have the tools that you see there is because I am friends with the guys that developed them, so I wanted to support them. Chris

Thanks, Kit! It is the Dragon 1/35 131. Chris Fontenot

I keep saying that I am NOT an armour guy, but here I go again. This will be my first attempt with the Friul Tracks and voyager set. Comments always welcome, because I have no clue what I am doing...LOL. Chris Fontenot

I like what you have done so far.

This is so cool!

Looking good, Dick.

I am waiting for an update.

She is a beauty.

Thanks Guys. Everyone has been very helpful and I appreciate the kind words. Chris

Thanks Mark and Chris.

Thanks Gary. That was my bad attempt at being funny. I appreciate all the good advice. My experience has always been with figures and ships, so I have a lot to learn. Chris Fontenot

Well, you are exactly right about what is on the bumper. I wish I could put my hands on the decal instructions I followed. It seems like I copied that right off the Tamiya instructions, but I don't remember exactly. Thanks for pointing that out. As I have said before, I am not an armor guy, so I have lots to learn. Maybe I should stick to what I know...figures. I do appreciate everyones feedback. I look at it as a learning experience. Chris

Thanks Mike and Mark. I see what yall mean and agree that these small steps would add a lot to the model. Thank you very much for the feedback. Chris

I will be at the Chattanooga show and would love to see it in person. In fact I am bringing the family and making a weekend of it. So many cool things to do in Chattanooga. Anyway, love your tank. Chris
