What is there so say ?
The subject matter
The research into it
The ability to identify and overcome any error in accuracy
The ability to create the required detail no matter the difficulty or the frustration
The foresight & innovation to see the necessary materials and suppliers to assist in this magnificent creation(amongst others)
The crystal-clear and perfect pictures & narrative along each stage
I am humbly proud as a mod in this era of this forum to be lucky enough to have such a profoundly skilled member willing to share those skills with those of us that can only look on and wonder, and feel that we too can strive to achieve the seemingly impossible, because the seemingly impossible has actually been done.
Thank you

Absolutely astounding
I came VERY close to purchasing this kit when it was first offered for sale. And in a way, I'm glad I didn't, because I'm glad you got your hands on it Louis

A Centurion's rare and special enough, but this is something even more spectacular Louis. I really like the way ERA tiles bulk out the silhouette. 11/10 work, as usual!

Thank you everyone !
Thank you, yes, me too. My interest with Blazer ERA started decades ago when i added Verlinden ERA on a 1/35 M60 and I have been looking at doing something similar in 1/16 scale ever since.
And i would also like to thank Barry, Carl, Panzerjaeger66, Eastern Front, Black knight, 43rdRecceReg, Model Builder 4, Jimster, jimbo_wa, Jay-Em, Soeren and X82d Pathfinder for your encouragements and support throughout the build.
Regards, Louis
I think i won't. Being able to get you hand on a Ludwig Centurion kit is unfair competition.Ad Lav wrote:Remind me not to enter anything when you do TOTM
