    • @nightjarflying
      @nightjarflying 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bullshit. Are you stealing valor? You misattributed that Patton quote - he said "In my opinion, the M-1 Rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised" & the "Ma Deuce" is the name for the M2 Browning. There is no rational reason to call the M40 155mm "Ma Deuce".

    I know this is a couple of years old but I've only been modeling for about a year and intended doing a German nashorn next but after seeing this kit and how it looks finished, I have to have one of these instead.
    I especially like the way things are workable like the breech.
    Expertly done Andy and a nicely done video too.
    I hope mine turns out half as good as this. I'll be well happy if it does.

    @nilsopitz-ball2615 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Andy there is something that I do to add a thick layer of mud on tanks. What I do is take revell filler, and apply it thickly under the wheel wells with a really stiff big brush. Make sure you do a sort of stippling technique. Then you just paint over it with whatever colors you want or the tracks are being wheatered to whatever. It will go through quite a bit of filler, but it is well worth it.

    Great build, Andy. I don’t generally build military kits, but might need to consider branching out for this beautifully well-detailed kit. I wanted to ask you, though, most everybody I’ve talked to says you need to put decals on a slick surface vs. matt to ensure good adhesion as well as no silvering will occur as the vehicle ages. Beautiful build!

    Just a quick comment regarding painting of OVE (On-vehicle equipment, shovels, axes, sledges, etc.), these implements were painted OD until 1st Gulf War. Handles as well as blades. You would experience shading (oils) in wooden handles and scraping of blades, however, but not natural coloring.
