So I figured I'd make a new thread for these, rather than bring back the old one. Anyway, here's what I've been working on for about two months.

Image
A 1/35 scale M4 Sherman. This one didn't take two months, just fyi. It actually took about two days.


Image
I didn't paint this one, unfortunately. I just hate painting, which is kind of a problem.


Image
More of the same.


Image
Ah, now this is kind of cool. These tanks are both 1/35 of actual size, so this is a relatively accurate comparison. You can see just how much bigger the Abrams is.


Now here's the one that took two months.
Image
A 1/350 size BB-63, USS Missouri. Just ignore the shitty paint job.


Image
View from the front. I had a lot of fun with this one, in case you couldn't guess.


Image
...And from the back. Those little planes were a bitch.


Image
Superstructure. Those little tiny squares with notches? 20 mm cannons. There were far too many of those for my sanity to handle.

Well, that's it. As usual, feedback is cool. Or just awe, that's good too :P
In case anyone wants it, here's the link to my other model thread; older pics

You're crying about the 20mm guns on a 1:350?? Try doing it in a 1:700! :D

I've never made a tank... I should give it a go some time.

Yeah, well, if I had that kind of money...I actually would probably stick with models. I do them for the fun of putting them together more than anything else.
