Chris Smith Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I thought I try something new. I found building this was a lot of fun and learning how to do weathering was also fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Outstanding, Chris! The weathering is downright superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evlwevl Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Very nice, building tanks is much more relaxing to me than cars since I can concentrate on the build and then paint later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Very nice. I'm impressed. If this is your first work in this genre, I'm doubly impressed. Even the crusted mud on the tracks looks right. Edited August 16, 2019 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired & glad Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Fantastic job on this one. What paint did you use on it ? I've often looked at other things instead of cars or trucks but never dove into buying anything. Might look a little harder at other stuff.

High octane Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Lookin' good on that tank build. I haven't built a tank model since the 50's. I do occasionally build an airplane kit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrod 97 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Very nice build, Chris! Awesome work on the weathering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Smith Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thank you everyone for the kind words!! This is my first attempt at building a tank and weathering. I found that YouTube was the best place to see and learn new techniques. You do have to apply what you see and hope it turns out the way “you” want it. I used Tamiya paints on this build. I would like to give the weathering credit to Andy @ Andyshobby and panzermister36 these people have some great techniques on YouTube that where beyond helpful.

bisc63 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Nice! Now it just needs a simple but grungy base for display; never cared for dirty tanks on clean background! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
