havint built a tank in a long long time so before i get on with the BSC (which i am starting in april) i thought a quick build in which to practice weathering will be ideal and this is my choosing subject

 

[wyoroy]

great kit to get the old mojo going. I've built that kit and even though it's not a high end kit, still a fun build.

 

[ridgers22]

Fairly flying through this kit. Must say its really reaaly basic :-\ never mind its the painting and weathering im looking forward to

 

[spud]

thats the one thing i dislike about tamiya kits but once painted and weathered it will look real good

 

[ridgers22]

Totaly agree spud. Im really only using it for practicing weathering techniques

 

[spud]

well its a good base to start on

 

[ridgers22]

All primed and base coated. I built a little display for this just a basic rocky desert with a few plants.

 

[ridgers22]

All washed and drybrushed. Acually looking not to bad like this but going to do heavy weathering and chipping on this bad boy

 

[geegad]

looking nice like the base buddy

 

[ridgers22]

Well 4 hours with a peice of sponge and a tiny little brush and here is the results . Still have to do the wheels but i need to give my eyes a rest haha.



Thisis the most weathering iv done on any kit and still got loads more to do
