Tudor Gh Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) So here's something different I decided to build. I made it for my friend's birthday, and I managed to take some photos just before it was delivered. The kit is from Dragon, containing about 800 parts. The tracks were my favorite part to build, 101 individual links on each side. Tracks were painted with dark steel, weathered with a brown wash and a silver dry-brush. The chassis and upper structure were painted with sand, followed by brown and green, weathered with a light brown wash. Scratches were added with by metallic dry-brushing. The armor plates were an interesting feature, being made from thin aluminum sheet. Enjoy! Tudor Edited January 20, 2011 by Tudor Gh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Really nice work Tudor - you can sure tell the difference between this and the Tamiya kit - this one is so much sharper and better detailed. Nice mixing of the colours as well - which brand and colour was the brown ? The scratches are very well done on the sides as well - I like it that you havent wethered this to withtin an inch of it's life!! Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually cheated and used a combination of RLM 24 Red, RLM 79 and Dark Umber, all from Model Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thought so ! sometimes a very slightly different shade of the same colour brings an interest to an otherwise well covered object. Well done mate Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
