PART II


with a sandpaper and some knife's i remove the tools and the paint to start all over again.


The problem was here also that you can see that i was using hairspray technique for the first time.


It was still wet and then you become those splitting paint on the tank.

The first version you built looks like oob and to me a little too clean but all the same fantastic and awesome as Polux described. Now you have gone back to it it looks very realistic and worn, more detail with less if that makes sense. I like the hairspray tech and I also like the streaking you have done on the frontal/ side armour. Truly awesome.


A great build on both times


It's builders like you I wish I could reproduce the same tech ( but I still fall short


Regards

Beautiful. Can't say more than that!

It takes courage to strip a model back and start again. Most of us would simply buy another!


The first attempt was superb, particularly as it was done with a brush but the second one is a cracker. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Cracking stuff! Really love the attention to detail in the wear and tear - this, imho, makes or breaks a build!!
