Thanks Carnac. It would have been better.

made some slight changes. Added the barrel. Removed the tire from off of the turret and did some touch up on the weathering. The last pic shows it at the 08 Open in Stockholm. It took third place in the scratch built category.

WOW! Astounding detail! As a modeller in my younger days, I have always admired good attention to detail because I know how difficult it is to get authentic effects and the time it takes to make them just right. BTW; what scale are you working in here--- perhaps 1/35?

And if you won't mind me asking, where might we be able to see more of your work?

BRAVO~!

Very nice work,looks almost real.

If that is a third place model, I can't IMAGINE what a first place model would look like.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!
Any estimate on number of hours involved in a piece like this?

Thanks Dave. Yes, it is 1/35 scale. There is a thread right here in this forum that shows most of my work: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/214158-post1.html & here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/713569-post1.html & here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/models-scale-replicas/59807-dug-deep-dio.html & here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/701687-post1.html

Well, I cannot say for sure. It all depends. But this little baby about 2-3 weeks of building. Here are the WIP : LAV III WIP pictures by tiking - Photobucket
