Don't worry psyfool... they're at 1/72 scale. That's very small..

Anyway... what does KFOR stand for?
Very good Challenger 1 build Danny... weathering is kept at a minimal.. very much for modern day tanks that are well maintained. Did you use the MIG dust that you got and applied it over your tank??

Ike, KFOR? Not very sure...It's something to do with UN or NATO I think? Some kind of peace keeping force...What it stands for u need to ask Danny...Yeah, they're small but if I start one, it will go on and on and on...50 1/72 scale tanks still takes up a lot of space u know! :-)

Hi guys, thanks for the comments

This little bugger fits onto your palm nicely. So it's really small and doesnt take up much space.

KFOR stands for kosovo force, UN deployed units to kosovo to help maintain peace and to stop the ethnic cleansing there.

I did not use pigment powders for this guy. I only use washes and filters.

Yeah... I have to agree with Danial... 1/72 are so small... my fingers can hardly get to the parts.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind words. I really do not think i'm a 'master' in this, i'm still learning.

Thanks again guys.

Hi,

That's a nice piece of work, subtle weathering, but just enough to create a good finish. I thoroughly enjoy this!

Cheers!
