Very kind of you. My first finish in decades. The scale was fun, the kit had few pieces but is well molded, so I could focus on the finish and storytelling.

An eyecatcher of a display. Looks really nice. :100: :100: :+1: :saluting_face:

Excellent rendition, especially for the scale. I like the various tones of Olive Drab you’ve achieved. Nice detail. A moody setting - you certainly accomplished your goal.

Thank you, I had wonderful advice form my local AMPS-ATL team, and from a master- Tetsuro Horikawa. I am now trying the acrylic/soap/water for the running gear.

Show next month at the US Army Armor & Cavalry Collection!

I used the Vallejo Faded Olive Green pigment as a dust, and brushed it to get “layers”.

I think the “hide and seek champion” shirt is more fun.

That would be hilarious, and a great vignette! I don’t think the Armor & Cavalry Heritage Foundation has that. Hmm ….

Is it retailed somewhere?

It was a shirt campaign run by Nicholas Moran, aka The Chieftain, sold through Everpress; the campaign is over, but he’s rerun campaigns for some of his other shirts, so that one may return as well.
