discussion MENG - T90A Main Battle Tank

[takeslousyphotos]

Nice work. Back to the MIG-21?

Thanks Rick........... The Mig 21 turned into a bit of a tragedy. I bollixed it up (I really can't build aircraft, always the same result). So I donated it to Si .... He used it for a Dio.

Very nicely done Peter, love a good T90.

Thanks for the comment Steve. 'taint perfect, but it'll do.

Good work Peter!
The final result looks excellent

Thanks Polux. Your kind comment is much appreciated.

That's really nice, I love the detail, there's loads to look at!
Like what you have done with the camo scheme, it works well with that tank, and it looks lightly used, not abused!


Very impressed!

Thanks Dave. Very much appreciated ........... Camo was courtesy of a couple of rattle cans and some ripped up masking tape

Thanks David.

Thanks Patrick....... I enjoyed it. It took a while, and it stretched my limited skill set some.

Well I have Bronco's Chinese T-99 to build at some point which is not dissimilar to your T-90 - so they'll be swearing & cursing coming from me then!

I did my share of that with this one......... Some of the smaller bits drove me nuts. Particularly the mounting frames for the laser dazzles either side of the main gun. There were a gazillion bits and they had to be made up in stages and fitting them was a proper mission that I could have used seven hands each with a pair of tweezers.

Very nice model Peter.


Very unusual camouflage. Interesting that camouflage is to protect


the tank from being spotted.


When you build a model the camouflage actual attracts viewers to it.


Nice work not having ever built a tank I was never sure how much work


goes into them. Yours there is a lot.

Well if there are mistakes I can't see any great job

 

[Guest]

Truly superb build, OUTSTANDING.

Excellent build and finish Peter, that camo job is superb mate

 

[Dave Jay]

Undeniably bloody awesome mate. The model is absolutely bristling with detail and captures the sense of weight that heavy armour gives in reality. Loving this build and I'm very close to being tempted back to doing some armour modelling, wasn't very good at it initially with plenty of room for improvement and with builds like this as well as all the others on this forum there is plenty to aspire to.

Thanks Laurie .......... Yes, there was a lot to this one. Now I need a rest and build something simple.
