Looking really nice Ian, it`s coming along a treat, looking forward to seeing more of this build

 

[Guest]

The colour and the shades looks very well. Really is an interesting model.

Cheers

The model looks great. But I do have to wonder about a tank with a great big light on it, sort of saying 'hey look - here I am' I would be reluctant to use the search light.

 

[papa 695]

Got the tracks painted and fitted and also fitted the lower hull to the wheels and started a little weathering

Ive been watching fronm the sidelines Ian , great work matey. The shading looks excellent , as do the wheels . cheers tony

 

[Guest]

That's looking really good Ian, its never a simple job to make a single colour tank look varied & interesting, but you're nailing it!

Cheers Patrick

 

[Guest]

Lovely paint work so far.

Those tracks looks very well Ian.

[flyjoe180]

Nice weathering Ian, subtle and effective

 

[Guest]

Lovely job on the pre-shading and weathering Ian, she looks intimidating and is a real beast, she really is a nice looking build, well done buddy!

 

[Guest]

Nice work mate. The variations in the paint are great and it sure looks a beast. That muzzle brake says it all.

 

[papa 695]

Not much done this week due to the school holiday's and the kids at home. But got the tools painted and the crews baggage
