So many incredible builds this time! Life has gotten in the way hugely for me and I barely had time to finish...but I did follow each build and I was impressed! So, in the interest of the enemy of "good" being "better" I wrapped up a few details and got the photos taken. I humbly submit the fruit of my labor:
Kit: Dragon 6369; scatchbuilt schürzen from 0.15mm brass sheet; modified kit barrel to take the supplied muzzle brake.
Paints used: Akah 71001;71003;71010;71090, various pigments, Wilder rust effect and washes, artist oil fading and filter, Testors Dullkote
I'm very happy, for being my 3rd AFV build I have learned so much from following all of your work and tried to put some of that inspiration to work. A good kit hindered by the instructions and poor fitting muzzle brake. But plenty of others built this go round so enough said...
Photos:
The dio was really just a learning exercise for me, testing out scratchbuilding, making trees, fences, using static grass, weathered wood painting techniques, making a road....thanks to Coen and Hollywood Modelling for their videos, they were incredibly useful! I'm hardly an expert, but if anyone wants more information on any of this work please let me know...it was all seat of the pants stuff and very few photos were taken. There is really no story being told or anything like that, just a reason to play with some new things.
I hope you enjoyed the photos and the build!
