Category: Armor
Name of Build: M-103A1
Kit manufacturer: Dragon
Scale: 1/35
Description
Built mostly out of the box. Loader's hatch springs were molded on, so they were removed and replaced with copper wire wound around a drill bit to make a spring. Lifting rings on turret had no hinge detail so thin sheet brass was added for the hinge. Handles on tool boxes came solid in the kit, and were undercut to make them look more like handles than the blobs they were.
Painted entirely with Vallejo paints using their US OD Green painting system. Weathering products are a mix of Mig Productions, AK interactive and Vallejo.
Mud is a combination of Vallejo Dark Earth Effects and Brown Earth Effects, with Woodland Scenics Fine ballast and static grass added to the mix.
Resin packs are from Value Gear Models, and added MV Lenses for the lights.
