After-market parts: Armo barrel

Judge 1
A very good build, the conversion part being particularly well done. The finish is solid with the tonal variation in the base colour adding interest. Perhaps some stronger shading around the details would further enhance the model.
Judge 2
Excellent build with only minor gap at bottom of tracks. Finish and weathering are very well done and subtle. I would only suggest more in-build photos, and more pin wahses to bring out the details a bit more. Some oil and gas stains on the rear engine deck and fuel tank would add to the realism. Well done!
Judge 3
Excellent scratch build upper structure. Due to a strong color of background, color of the vehicle gone little bluish. Nothing to add to previous comments: model is good, matter is in finish: more washes and drybrushing will give much in depth and rise details out.
