Our own Andy from IPMS St. John's (and recent Peoples Choice winner at our show, with - what else? - A Spitfire!) found this link and forwarded it on to me.
I think this is absolutely brilliant on SO many levels.
When you have an hour, no matter what your age, ESPECIALLY if you are young and new to the Hobby, or even if you are not into the hobby, this will give you pause to think.

M10 Tank Destroyer - Update October 17, 2013
The IPMS club I belong to is having a Model Show on Sunday, and I have been working on this one alot lately to get it ready.
Quite a few more washes and filters to fade the paint, some pin washes on the highpoints for hilite, pigments for mud on the suspension, some streaking grime on the sides and some streaking rust from the grouser bars on the side and from a few of the scratches.
I also tried something new for the spatters on the back and front. I used mud colored paint (enamel - model master military brown, some white and a touch of yellow) and added plaster of paris to it. This combination doesn't change colour, like pigment does when you dab it with pigment fixer. It might have come out a bit light, but not toooo much out of place.
The aiming rods (red and white) were something I had seen on a TD picture a while ago and wanted to make for this one, for a bit of added colour on an otherwise drab subject. I didn't want to go with the air recognition panel again, that would be overuse, since I am putting the Sherman in the show as well. The 40 link per inch chain adds a nice touch of contrast and distraction I think.
The bedrolls on the side are from Value Gear, same crowd that makes the Sherman rear deck, like on the Sherman. I tried for different colours so that it didn't just blend in and be invisible, and I gave them a good shot of Dullcote when they were done.
Have a look...
