Full Combat Load

Stowgae and first round of details for my 1/35 kitbashed tank. a combo of OOTB, after market, bits bin junk and scatch built. while this doesnt look like much, by my last count it was around 60~ individual details/parts. i have some more stuff i am working on but some is so tiny(1/35 ammo clips,cig packs and soda cans) that i dont dare take them off pins intill its glue time. i allso have a bunch of photo etched tie downs that will secure everything to the tank.

the bulk of  the gear comes from the Verlinden M1A1 stowage set and was like a whole build in itself(as they tend to be) a very nice set i will add, highly recommend and worth the $20~ if your looking for a big set of modern stowage. after all the cleaning of the parts,trimming,sanding,priming,painting,weathering and washing, this pile took me around 14-20 hours. hopefully over the weekend i can start geting some on the tank and start work on the last round of stuff i gotta do for it.

while all this stuff might not make it on the tank, the leftovers will be loading up my next project, a kitbashed humvee to match the tank. anyways other than a few touch ups(stupid close ups show mistakes) i am really happy with how it all came out. hopefully it will give the tank a good lived in and ready to rock look.
