Evening all! Luckily I had a day off today, so I got straight to painting the Abrams from Khurasan!
It's on my blog: link Thanks,
Ben. |

Hmm, nice paint job. Wondering how easy it would be to backdate to an -A1…must check my references… Damon. |

The simplest M1A1 conversion is to cut off the commander's independent sight (the cylindrical object on the top left of the turret), and cover that area with a similar diameter disc. Probably there are other smaller differences, but visually that's the most obvious one. |

I am so jealous. (Though … note to self: when painting 15mm vehicles, remember to base them a bit, as the figures' bases distort them more at this scale.) |

Lovely job – I've cracked and ordered a platoon of 4 meself just to be going on with…. |

Thanks guys, @Sparker – You won't be disappointed! @Meiczyslaw – I've got a base drying, 15mm models can take bases quite nicely. Ben. |

great job on the abrams tank. |

Very nice! I need one of those. Definitely agree on the bases… it just helps keep everyone in scale:) |

Even with a base that Abrams is to small against 15mm infantry. Nice kit but too small |

It scales out to 1/100, Lex. But a 15mm figure has ~2mm of base underfoot and that means at least 8" of extra height in the figure compared to the unbased tank. |
