  1. Very nicely done

  2. Terrific job on a complicated kit , I've seen a couple of these at club days and it is a very interesting subject,there is some footage on youtube of the Isreali's using these to very convincing effect.
    N.

  3. Thiis the first time I heve seen this kit built up.
    You have really done it justice. The weathering accents it. I am glad you put the Merkava in the shot. Never realized just how big these are.
    Well done.

  4. I've seen this build done two other times, and I must say, I'm impressed by all of them. This one is beautifully done and photographed. Nice work, sir.

  5. Amazing mate. Very impressive weathering!

  6. That is definitely a big tractor!
    When you see it next to the Merkava you see how big.
    Nicely done and well weathered too.
    Some good pics thrown in as well.

  7. Looks like a real brute. I think that Meng's choice of subject was right on the money here. And you've done it proud...

  8. that is a nasty looking doomsday machine...i'd hate to be a Palestinian bottle thrower facing that thing..give you nightmares

  9. Imagine you're getting a "cyber high five" for a great looking model. Fantastic work on the weathering and good looking photos as well.
