The Duke's First Armor of 2013

[Duke Maddog]

Only one so far but this brings my total Armor count to 623 completed armor models.

This is the ancient Hasegawa 1/72 scale 60cm Morser Karl on rail cars. I built it OOB, except for the scratch built pins holding this thing together. I had to since the originals all disappeared. I airbrushed the basecoat on it and then hand painted the camouflage pattern. Washed it with Windsor Newton Burnt Umber thinned with Mona Lisa thinner. I airbrushed the dust coat over all the rest. I'm declaring this thing done:

I also finished two aircraft, so feel free to check them out as well. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

That's an extremely nice looking finish on that model. Was it a beast to assemble?

Cheers

Thanks guys for the awesome kudos! I am very happy with it and I'm thrilled that it is finally done!

Tankbuilder, yes it was a beast to build. A number of parts didn't fit well, the gun kept sagging too law when I tried to set it level, and the rail carriers kept breaking. Not only that, but all eight pins that are supposed to hold the Karl to the rail carriers disappeared. I had to make new ones! I'm glad it is finally finished.

Thanks again for all the awesome replies!
