(...) Thanks Tim, I do like to have space inside the vehicles for the figs. The downside is that it makes them all a little too big scalewise.

Hi Magnus, I love how you manage to get ample space for your figs in these models. It's a really nice touch in such detailed models. They're all great models without it and it just adds that extra touch. I might steal your idea of using the new 4x4 (...) (18 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Tim, I'm always happy to see other builders venturing into the military theme. Very nice work, indeed. I like how you made the turret look a little rounded through the use of different slopes and wedges. Nice to see a tank done in arctic/mountain (...)

Very nice, Tim. The color scheme and the nice use of low slopes in the turret give it the perfect "future feel". The renderings are superb as well. The shading evoked an emotional "Anime!" response from me for some reason. ---Will (18 years ago, 21-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Hi all, Decided to have a play at tanks. It's far from perfect but I've learnt a lot (thanks Soren and Jas) so my next one should be better. Anyway, this is loosely based on a T-90 but I've tried to make it a little more futuristic so it's a T-104. (...) (18 years ago, 20-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
