So here it is, done and dusted so to speak. Thanks for all the comments, it was a real inspiration to get this one finished and believe me, at times it was needed...

and thanks for looking...

That looks really great Martin! I fancy building an M3 now!

Thanks Nev, she is a beast but not really an over detailed kit. Saying that looking at the reference pictures I have she really is a hunk of metal and this is well represented in the kit, if I was to do it again I think I would take the route of modulation and really go to town with detailed paint work, forget the stowage but concentrate on the heavy metal look. I think with my next project I will turn my attention to the quality rather than the quantity. Happy with the M3 and can recommend the kit, although old, she goes together a treat and quite a good size, a worthy addition to the display shelf rather then the shelf of doom... job done!

Ripper job mate! Can't go wrong with a Grant in a desert setting!

Great job and one to be proud of.

And thanks Leo, great to have your input. Next project up is a Cromwell but I think this one will only get a light dusting and less on the stowage front, something for a quick build and all in green..!

Great work
I think that dessert camo is very nice
And the stowage really finishes this tank

Excellent job on your Grant. The painting and weathering are superb. The addition on the infantry patrol adds a lot to the scene.

Thanks for your kind words Bill, much appreciated. I'm at the other end of the scale at the minute working on a winter and mud Sherman..!
