Some top work with the extra stowage and detailing and how it’s been sculpted.
Really takes it up a few levels Jan, great build.
I also like red tip 1 in 5 trace on the .50 ammo. Nice.
You are bringing it to life nicely with the crew and their equipment Jan- as usual the sculpting is fantastic.
Tank you both,
Some more work in progress
The inspiration comes from a photo of a IDF female, bad I didn’t save it.
several parts from the bit box

You sure are making one of the nicer versions of a Merkava… I guess that is partly because of your sculpting skills, you can create a very original version, beautiful!!

All of those details bringing it to life.
Looking very good Jan
Great job you are doing Jan- it’s taking on a realistic appearance with the various bits of dirt and wear on the paintwork. The scuffs on the rubber at the bottom of the side skirts is a nice effect- they take quite a beating on the real vehicles and you’ve captured that accurately.
