Hello!
Here is my entry to the Cold War GB.....It is a West German leopard 1 by Tamiya and looks sweet!!!
I can't wait to begin this build but before hand....Here is a look at the box and parts
Can't wait to start my first GB!
Okay, I started some work and it began with some here on the rear of the tank....This included some minor scratch building which i am very new at so please excuse the lack of clean work.....Here it is
Thanks!
So i started doing work on the wheels and turret...Note that because of the age of the kit, scratch building is needed to get it up to scratch

Enough for now though...Catch you later!
I started the drybrushing and chipping and i think it looks pretty cool!

I then painted the tools. I painted the wood in 2 stages. The first stage war raw umber painted on in thin coats then finally the raw sienna was applied over the top. In my opinion it looks quite like wood.

Then i started the decalling, after that the kit will be done so i will try to push on and get it done quick!
