Korean war Centurion MK3

Post by tomhugill »

Hey folks,

She's finally done. Centurion MK3 of the King's royal Irish hussars early in the Korean conflict.

She's very much mixed media, made from styrene, many 3d prints parts, details in brass, real wooden to handles, resin crew, cloth mantlet cover and resin stowage.

She has servo recoil and elevation, led flash, coaxial mg led, hidden ir emitter, tbu base. She's running a Clark tk60 sbus, fr7 speaker in a big box, finally shes propelled by a dklm PDSGB.

She's painted with acrylics, weathered with oils and oigments. I hope you like her.

Beautifully done, Tom, and finished with the subtle, and masterly, touches we have come to expect :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap:
My only reservation about using a 3-D printed shell as the basis for a model would be (for me) having to conceal the parallel lines/minuscule ridges left by- an inherent in- the printing process. It's only your expertise with Mr Surfacer, and other products, that make the 'plate steel' parts actally look like plates. Not all of us (including yours truly) have that ability, alas. :| I would rather use sheet styrene where possible. :problem:

Good Morning, Tom,
I noted it earlier. You would have to go many miles to find a better example of this Tank. From a smooth, white 3D basic model, you have produced a visually accurate and solid piece of Armor. Very, very well done, sir.
regards,
Painless
