    That is turning out beautifully @vaoinas! The dust looks perfect, and well done on your figures too! I'm about to venture into some figure painting as well and am a bit anxious about it. This tank is gonna look great!

    Oh man, what a fine herd of ponies! Peter, you have a great group of Mustangs there, most impressive gathering I've seen in some time. Brilliant (didn't I call it?!? ) work Farmerboy! I absolutely love the group photo as I'm a real "sucker" for those! And quite timely for me to find this as I just received a set of Aztec "Macho Mustangs" decals for Latin American Mustangs in the mail yesterday. I had planned on using some on an old Monogram P-51D but now I find it's missing its clear parts. I now believe an Airfix D model may be in my near future. I've heard that they compare quite well with the Tamiya and Eduard versions.

    Beautiful modeling @Maddoxx77! 🍺 Very well done indeed, my friend, and your figures don't look bad at all! Great presentation all around.

    Thanks a lot @Michael_55! I'm glad you like it, and hope you do pick one up soon. 🍺 I'm looking forward to seeing more Bulldogs; they just have a "rakish" somewhat sporty look about them that has always appealed to me. I very much appreciate the comments!

    Al, I anticipate the same ordeal with the ARVN crew members for my M41 Bulldog tank. Good luck with those guys!

    @Maddoxx77, What a great comment to wake up to this morning! Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I hope I can get her across the finish line without any major drama. I'm ready to start another tank soon. I really appreciate the generous compliments, coming from a skilled armor modeler makes them even better!. I'm glad you had a look and thanks for your continuing interest Maddoxx! 🍻

    Why yes, I am! 😀 Happy that you like her! Thanks @Thom216. Thank you very much @Mycapt65! 🥃 It was a lot of fun at the time! Here are a couple other "what ifs" posted here before: CSAF Mirage F1 Kyushu J7W3 Shinden

    😁 I know, I know...mea culpa! The Bulldog is looking pretty good (he so humbly said ) and the crew won't if I paint them. ...again with the negative waves, man! Always with the negative waves...

    And please allow me to thank @Mozzy19, @Rabbit Leader, @Thom216 and @BleedingBlue for your recent "likes" for ol' "Black Magic". I sure do appreciate your encouragement and support folks!

    Thanks a million @Fred piket ! What a great compliment! That's something I always strive for but don't always achieve! Cheers 🍻

    That is looking so fine @Maddoxx77! 🍺 You're doing some top work here! Ah, those figures so intimidate me. I know how amateurish the crew looks on my Panther tank after I painted them, and I haven't had any practice since then, 20 years or so. I'd like to sub-out the figure painting for my ARVN crew on the Bulldog if at possible. I know my own figure painting skills would diminish the effect I'm trying for.

    Thanks Albert! I'm glad you like the Voodoo @Marcello Rosa! Thanks for the kind comment! 🥂
  14. Gary Brantley
    You are much too kind my friend! ...but, please don't stop! 😆 She was a lot of fun to photograph out at the airport; that scenery seemed to really suit that plane. Sometimes I do get lucky! 😁 Thanks again Peter! And thanks to @shortCummins for your "like" too! 🥃

    I want to thank @albymoore, @Booty003, @Pantherhawk27263, @_alfisti_, and @bryanm for your recent "likes" for my old Voodoo model. I'm really happy that you liked her! Much appreciated. Cheers from Texas! 🥃

    That's a great start! I'm planning to build this same kit for my fourth tank model and will be watching this with great interest Steve. Great tip regarding the UV resin, I may have to look into that for my build. Thanks! 🍺
  17. Gary Brantley
    Very interesting and some very nice scratch-building! I am excited to see what's next!
  18. Gary Brantley
    Man, that's a great tank model Frank! 👍 And the base adds so much to your presentation, very well done sir!
  19. Gary Brantley
    Incredible tank model Dimitrios! Wow, I think that's very realistic. Congratulations on a great scale model!
  20. Gary Brantley
    Very impressive @Michael_55! Love your added details; those rolls of barb wire do look fantastic. Did you scratch-build those, and what method was used?
  21. Gary Brantley
    @AliGauld She's a beaut Alistair! And I find that scheme to be very interesting; great job sir! 🍺

    No, not pushing a bit but on the right track indeed. I am planning a base for it; something a bit different from my airport tarmac. The primary inspirations for this tank were photos of ARVN M41s in the Cholon section of Saigon, circa the Tet Offensive of Jan.-Feb. 1968. I want a base that looks like a paved street, strewn with a little rubble. That's really uncharted waters for this old modeler! Not really sure how I'll start it, but I should be planning that now I guess. Perhaps, YouTube will be a good resource... I have a spot here in our small town Cameron picked out that should look fairly appropriate for the background. It's an old, abandoned granary with lot's of broken windows, towers, catwalks, etc. It's located alongside a railroad track in an old part of town. We'll see how that looks when we get there. I may need an alternate location if that doesn't work out. Please wish me luck with the base! I'm sure I'm gonna need it. 😁

    Erik, that is amazing scale modeling and a beautiful result! It would look even more spectacular in natural sunlight! Great model plane!
  24. Gary Brantley
    Beautiful brutes ilj! And some great "old school" model building, well done sir! 🍺
