BB warning light and flashing periscope

Hi Painless.
Thanks very much for your comments! I wasn't sure how well my work would be received, but your feedback is very kind and reassuring.
Most of the stowage was scratch-built and the weathering comes from a lot of years plastic modelling. I use all sorts of tricks - dry-brushing, pin-washes, lead pencil, crayons, finger smudge shading, etc. The only thing I don't use is an airbrush as I don't own one! The sunglasses were a cheat! I had several disastrous attempts to paint the eyes before resorting to the shades, but actually decided they looked better anyway! looking back at the pics there is a detail missing! I had a 'curly' radio wire attached to the commanders helmet set going down his back to the radio switch on his belt below the flak jacket. I made it from stretched sprue wound round a piece of wire and then 'set' in boiling water. I must have broken it off by accident when setting up the shots. If you're serious about using my any of my ideas I am both flattered and pleased. Anything you want to know regarding the mods and detailing just ask and I'll try to explain how I did it all.
Thanks again for the feedback.

Wow that is some search light I don't think you need the use of the 90mm (or 105mm ). Just turn on the light to vaporize the enemy...... I like it !

As Painless mentioned, great to see some post WWII period tanks.

Brilliant in both senses, I am extraordinarily pleased that we have a post WW 2 Tank, lovely detail, funnily enough you soon accept the light as normal, I remember when modelling Aircraft, I made A Havoc with a Turbinlite and the scale size would be what you have achieved, change nothing, or change everything! most of all enjoy, it certainly made me happy. shaun

Seafire,
Here is my 99% stock Taigen Bulldog. As you can see, I have a long way to go to make it look anywhere near as cool as yours. I will definitely be referring to the 'White Rabbit' when I get around to redoing mine. Thanks again for posting pics of your amazing M41. ;o)
warm regards,
Painless

I will be brutally honest Mr Seafire................Its personality trait I have
You have taken what is arguably the least popular HL tank and made it into something with character, detail and a true sense of belonging in the line up of subjects within this gathering.
The light is not scale accurate..............but it wasnt supposed to be from the get-go. Im still getting over how the hell you looked at that cam corder in the attic & it all added up to this !?????
What a piss-cutter , it screams out "I got wasted & now Im coming for y'all Charles" !!!!!!
