Hello Everyone!



I've just finished this amazing kit. Well close to amazing. It had few bits I didn't like but overall it is a really nice kit.

Painted with Tamiya mix of Buff, Dark Yellow and random Grey in proportions 33%+33%+33% and then just a bit of grey. This is very first time I've used oil paint to do shadows and highlights and must say it's soooo easy!



I hope you'll like it and you can see the pictures!

No info on first mane so I'll just call you Blu until you give us a hint of how you wish to be addressed.
Excellent work on this one, subtle weathering and not over the top chipping and scratching make this a very believable piece;)

For myself I think a bit of color variation here and there may be in order to simulate a bit of road dust and grime, dirty footprints etc...
A very fine interpretation of a truly iconic AFV.

Wow!!! Crisp, clean, subtle realistic paint job and a really really good job!
If you put that in front of a real background there's no chance in telling if it's a model or the real deal! :smiling3:

Those pictures are definitely going to my reference collection!

Spot on in every way.

The subtle colour variations, dirt stains and minor chipping are just right.

Top build......and very nicely presented and photographed.

Thank you everyone for the opinion.

@grumpa I'm Bart, it's been a while since my last upload so I forgot to put my name at the end. That was a first go on the oils, so didn't wanted to experiment too much. Next one will be definitely more weathered the way you've mentioned.
