Of all the stand alone models I've made, this has given me the most satisfaction and a sense of achievement. It was a tough cookie for sure, but somehow, fun at the same time. I just hope that my grandson approves of the finished model, when I return it to him.
All freehand brush painted using Vallejo Model Colour acrylics and Humbrol Enamels.
O.O.B., except the cheap skates didn't include a search light lens, so I had to make one from some clear plastic. The search light cable and the two antennas are electric copper cable.
Except for the tracks, I've intentionally omitted the weathering, as I wanted the tank to look 'Pretty'. That might come later before I return the model.
I haven't tried to get the intricate pattern exact - such things are beyond me - but I've done my best to get it as close as I can.
Enough waffle....
Weird, wonderful - and rather jolly!
I hope you approve.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers all,
Ron
