Yes I did, but I regret it now!

Still I have plans to do another one with the new Heng Long ESC, I did have a large collection of Slot cars which I collected over many years which I sold and will fund my new T34.

As a fan of the T-34 I love it! I have a green one im still working on, what did you use for the weathering? was it dry brush, wash or something a bit more technical?

Excellent work! I love the original idea. I've never been much of a fan of russian tanks, but I do love this one. A proper "make do and mend" field mod.

Cheers,

That is really nice.  I like the rust effect on the add on mesh.

Thanks, the weathering was done in stages. First stage was weather the tank as normal with mig pigments and with real rust made from wire wood left in a container full of water for a day then tipped water out let it dry for a day or so then mix with Acrylic matt coat varnish and apply to tank. After all is dry I went over the tank with the Acrylic matt varnish with a medium size brush then watered down white acrylic. You can get the acrylic from an art shop. To finish off I hammered an old brick and mixed the dust/bits up with the varnish again to make the tank look like it has been through buildings and walls.
