That was quick! Nicely done Owl! I really like that camo scheme also.

Beautiful work, Owl! I'm still amazed at how you can work in such small scales. Hurts my tired eyeballs. :tongue:

thank you guys!!

I dont often build tanks, so it feels good to know I am doing well


the tracks have been painted and dirtied
Image

then the hull got decals, gloss and a wash;

while that was setting I decided to craft a small base for my tank: the tank will be coming up an incline and over a trench
Here are preliminary sketches
Image

painting the base, a cheap plaque from hobby lobby
Image

blocking out the slope

Im letting everything dry and set before I glop on the celluclay

Those Hobby Lobby plaques are just the ticket for that sort of thing! This just keeps getting better!

You've got a good mom there Owl! I'd offer to trade you mine, but she is dead... :tease:
