Two Tanks from Maddog Manufacturing.

[Duke Maddog]

Here are my first models completed for the new year 2016!

The first one is Dragon's 1/72 scale M-103A1 heavy tank assembled, painted and decaled in about one hour. Total finish time about an hour and ten. It's painted with Model Master enamels, washed with Windsor-Newton oils thinned with Mona Lisa thinner and weathered with the Tamiya weathering powders:

This is Small Scale Vehicle number 678 in my collection.


Next up is Tiger Model's 1/72 scale M1A2 Abrams SEP TUSK II. This one was painted with Model Master enamels, washed with Windsor-Newton oils thinned with Mona Lisa thinner and weathered with the Tamiya weathering powders. It was a challenging little build but one of the most enjoyable models I've done to date:

This is Small Scale Vehicle number 679 in my collection.

I need to find a better background for these tanks. That Abrams looks like it's sitting in a sandstorm!


That's all I have for now. I have a lot more moving down the pike so keep watching my Maddog Manufacturing post on this "What's on the Workbench" thread to see what's coming. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

The M1 looks great!

Thanks guys! I finished these faster than I thought; especially the M-103. So glad to have something finished again.

Both are great Mark but the armor on that Abrams! Boy howdy!
