discussion Weathering Challenge?

[dalej2014]

This is an interesting former gate guardian, now resting at Bovington, (awaiting restoration?). Despite the joke thread title I believe it a British Centurion? If anyone fancies a real weathering challenge, feel free to use these as a reference. Have fun!

Not sure Dale, the shape of the turret gives it away.

Comrade Race will know!

My t55 is miniart.You'll need plenty of patience and a good pair of tweezers for a miniart t55,about 650 parts for the tracks alone!and some fiddly pe.
