Ian M's completed M3 Grant

Super work Ian. All round great build, from the weathering down to the wire fence and grass tufts.

Thanks for the feedback Paul. I agree that the tank does appear a little "plonked" down. I had intended to grass it up a bit more and if I can find my old brushes in the shed, I might just give it some more tufts latter. I would like to redo the storage bins as well; make some open ones and have the lids open or off.

So maybe I should call it finished for now, but might get altered at some point.

Thanks for the feedback Paul

Like you say Ian all this 'integration' can be done at a later date. I don't want to detract from an excellent M3 Grant build but I think your suggestions would make it sit more naturally within it's setting. And, like you say, this can be done at any time and by instalments if you like.

What was the Academy kit like?

Cheers

Fantastic! Love the rusted barrels. I cannot add any more compliments to what has been said already.

A cracking build, Ian......looks very authentic!!!

[Ian M]

Thanks Chaps!

The Acadeny kit was a great build. Clean moulding, good detail, fit was very good and my only bug was the very stiff rubber band tracks. I found a solution to that though!! lol

Oh I found a natural bristle brush in the shed today!!!

One may need a tetanus shot before going too close to that one ! Great rust work, never did a "ruster" before, you may have just given me some inspiration - Good One! Jim

That's a fantastic piece of work I really like the way you have left it to the elements and the rusting shows this too.


Brilliant piece of work 5 stars

Superb work Ian................ I love the rusty ammunition has "cooked off" look you've achieved on that . Absolutely deserving of Five Big Stars for that build.
