First, my compliments to the webmaster(s).  It was quite easy to upload pics on a dial up connection.  
I was quite hesitant to really show my work because of how many other galleries I've seen and the amazing work I saw.  But, since so many of you welcomed me and encouraged me to show what I've done thus far, I decided to just try anyway.  
So, for both of you who might reply to this, you are welcome to comment on my personal gallery and let me know how I might improve.  
Thank you for your support!

Nice kits, but dude, don't wear your shorts so high. 
The turret star on the back of the Lee looks askew. The star should be pointing directly up. I'm not sure if the turret top star is pointing in the right direction or not though.

Okay, gentlemen.  I'm a relative newbie so I don't really have a clue as to how to weather faces et al.
Faces are small. They are smaller than tanks. I currently only have one paint that will work with faces. That will be the face paint color. Do I put mud on his face to pretend that the UberSturmoffizer fell down? ( I joke - I model poorly, so I joke.)
I still weather with bits of brown paint autistically placed here and there. I'm trying and I do appreciate the comments. I need to buy some smaller brushes for the whites of eyes and some toothpicks for the pupils.
Tell you what, give me about 30 or more tanks and I'll get better. I'm learning as I'm building and painting. You can describe to me how you ride a bike, but it isn't until I get on that same bike and ride down the hill screaming the theme to "Oklahoma", that I fully understand how to ride.
Disclaimer Most if not all of my posting is "tongue in cheek humor". If I didn't joke so much, I would cry much more often insofar as life is a steaming pile of feces that has been dropped on my head repeatedly.
Edited to note that every night my honey lamb and I sit alone and talk, and watch a hawk making lazy circles in the sky.
