It’s “an exact replica of my brother’s tank in El Paso,” says Brent of the Tamiya 1/35 scale M1A2 Abrams he rolled into the show with. He replaced the kit tracks with AFV Club parts, detailed the tank with Eduard photo-etched metal, scratchbuilt tarps, aftermarket stowage, wiring for the lights, and VMS nonskid texture. He painted the main battle tank with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylic and Model Master enamels before placing it on a groundwork of Vallejo and AK Interactive ground texture over foam to represent a gunnery range.
