Thank you. Do you any more models?

[SABRE]

Excellent work ! Hope to see more.

Do you make tank models?

[AegisFC]

Wow, very nice models. You said they were scratch built?

[charles king]

Wow, very nice models. You said they were scratch built?

I forgot to add that some are 50%, 70% and 90% scratch built. I used Italeri base models and did heavy conversion as well as lot's and lot's of scratch building.

Here are more:

The patriot launcher is 99% scratch built

Beautiful. You should consider doing a large scene with those models.

[charles king]

Thanks Dragonfire. Very kind words, although it took some time reading the icons...:)

The sign that says "Welcome in Iraq" with the HMMWV with Mk19 kind of sounds awkward. Shouldn't it be Welcome TO Iraq?

Nevertheless, these models are excellent. You should probably make some war scenes with these.

[Driller]

Wow the weathering is awesome wish i was that good :) What color did you paint your M1126 Stryker?

Tavarisch, That is the direct translation of it from Arabic. That is how they write it. So I'm told.

Driller I used Nato green from Tamiya. I paint all my models with a rattle can.

[Driller]

Another quick question what is the standard green color for the US army these days? Oilve Green, Olive Drab still?

[Tavarisch]

Any plans to make Soviet/Russian Armor models? A T80UM1 would be nice to look at.

Cannot say exactly. Can someone who is currently in the military please advise?

Not a bad battle tank but I'm mostly into trucks or small softskin type vehicles. :)
