Mark Deliduka Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Here are my first models completed for the new year 2016!The first one is Dragon's 1/72 scale M-103A1 heavy tank assembled, painted and decaled in about one hour. Total finish time about an hour and ten. It's painted with Model Master enamels, washed with Windsor-Newton oils thinned with Mona Lisa thinner and weathered with the Tamiya weathering powders:This is Small Scale Vehicle number 678 in my collection.Next up is Tiger Model's 1/72 scale M1A2 Abrams SEP TUSK II. This one was painted with Model Master enamels, washed with Windsor-Newton oils thinned with Mona Lisa thinner and weathered with the Tamiya weathering powders. It was a challenging little build but one of the most enjoyable models I've done to date:This is Small Scale Vehicle number 679 in my collection.I need to find a better background for these tanks. That Abrams looks like it's sitting in a sandstorm!That's all I have for now. I have a lot more moving down the pike so keep watching my Maddog Manufacturing Thread to see what's coming. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome. 1
Mark Deliduka Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks Charles! I am very pleased with the outcome on these. Weathering seems to be getting a little easier.
802chrisg Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 I have yet to add the M-103 to my stash, but I have built the Abrams (Tamiya) version in my scale of 1/35. Great builds Mark. Will be great addition to your collection.
Mark Deliduka Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks Chris! I'm thrilled to have these in my collection as well. It's nice to have something that the Big Boys have ! LOL!
RGronovius Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 Couple of good looking US tanks for your collection, keep up the good work!
Mark Deliduka Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks Rob! That means a lot coming from you. I'm still plugging along, I still have the two SCUDs to finish. Stay tuned for more.
RGronovius Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 I've been working on a couple of 1/35 scale Dragon German armor kits. The old school ones from the Imperial series. I've had them for what seems like forever, but I am enjoying myself. I do need to dig out some of my newer 1/72 scale modern armor kits, but after I finish the current projects.
Mark Deliduka Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Excellent! Sometimes Old School is the best school. At least in some modeling cases, it's more fun despite issues; or because of them.! LOL! Looking forward to seeing what you got going. Thanks again for the great reply.
philp Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 May have to get one of those Tiger kits.
Mark Deliduka Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks Phil! I highly recommend them.
