You don't have to use Imgur anymore.

Whelp, here is the latest. Final assembly done, ready for weathering

NOTE: Turret was not glued on at time I took these pics and boy does it show in that last pic!!!

Looking really good Bruce, not to be critical but you need to address this somehow.

 

[iambrb]

that is a drop of water, turret was still wet from when I added the '2' decal on my custom made canvas just behind it, and I plan to correct it using the "air-cure' method, but you are right to point it out!

Looks like a job for some stowage.

Looks Great!!
If the water drops dry out they may leave a tide mark...but you can work that easily with weathering.

 

[iambrb]

OK here is where it sits. Note that the turret is on straight and the water mark is long gone. I have the basic oil weathering done. Just have to smooth out a few spots, then on to powders. Note that as this is going to be in a field of sunflowers most of the running gear will be hidden/partially obscured, so I'll work that once I get onto the base, which is next on my little hit parade

Looks great Bruce!
I like what you' got going on.

It’s coming along rather well!!! The fun part is going to be making sunflowers. How I let Eric talk me into this I do not know

 

[errains]

Looking Super Duper there Bruce!!!

How I let Eric talk me into this I do not know

Your Welcome.....Now get to work.

I think you have it under control Bruce

Nice, Really making me look at mine now.

I agree with James; I want to build another Centurion after seeing this magnificent model!

 

[iambrb]

OK SO I THINK I HAVE DISQUALIFIED MYSELF FOR THIS CAMPAIGN

I originally said this would be my first diorama/vignette, but despite creating a bas & buying nearly $100 in sunflowers, they just don't "look right". Rather than place this on the "shelf of doom", I have decided to finish the tank as you see below - quite possibly some of my best work yet! At the same time though, i do not feel comfortable to put this in the "Completed Builds" thread, so here she sits.

(Note: the camera really shows what you missed, & I see that I did not get one area on the rear of the turret. Otherwise, as i said earlier, this is one of my best builds!!!)

IT's not too late to get what you think you missed. Press on.
