Don't think it's easy to achieve damage , not the case of just bash it. Like the way this is going don't suppose you are going to treat me to fire as well ?

Hi Greg
Modelling at its very best. Your attention to detail is impressive. Creating realistic damage is hard but well within your skills.

The damage looks very convincing so far Greg. Great stuff.

Nice work on the damage Greg. It is indeed good fun to do. How is the damage being caused in your imagination because if its being caused by something hitting the tank from above then would the metal shards be pointing downwards instead of up??? Or was it an explosion from underneath? Just a thought

Excellent start Greg.
A long way to go before completion, but you will have fun all the way creating the damage. - I did!

A great start to what IMHO is the toughest military modeling to achieve. PaulE

Well Steve The hit came from the left side of tank by an uranium depleted penetrator which caused a catastrophic explosion by hitting a shell and then went right through the hull and exited by the right side of the tank....this is what i see

Terrific update Greg. Glad you put me in the picture with the reasoning around the damage. A great idea and well thought out. Best of luck with the Christmas rush at the shop. Have a wonderful festive period after hours.
