This is my 1/35 Crocodile tank that is knocked out. The flash, coupled with the lights in the shed have given it a metallic look, but it isn't, also I have used two greens-just to break it up and add a in-field rush camo scheme. It has been damaged with two shell hits, one fatal-have tried to mimic stress cracks emanating from the holes. It has had its first wash and is left to dry-still loads to do.

Si:)

This comes with trailer and parts for the flame-thrower or you can make it standard. I will have another look in the box as I am sure I saw the two vent cowlings and add on exhaust.

Nice , I got the one with the tank crew and the old fella handing out wine from a little cart :)

It looks great mate :) you knw that burn on the front hatch , if you put a bit of liquid superglue on the edge and wet it with water it will fog up and give an ash effect :)

Ta fellas, glad you're liking it so far, just figuring out the board layout then I can work on the tank a bit more.

What doesn't show up too well in the pictures is the slight wearing on the hatches, hinges, edges etc. This was created using a pencil and I find it a more natural look than using dry-brushing. You get a dull gleam-if that makes sense.o_O
