Re: Heng long leopard 2A6 7.0 quick build
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from HengLong were to contact you about using your video. You make me want to follow your tips and take on a modern tank build after I finish the T26E3 and FAMO.
Re: Heng long leopard 2A6 7.0 quick build
I'll say it again. Great work. You put into video format explaining the way I went about treating and weathering my first tanks. I watched a lot of armor modeling you tube vids to teach and guide me.
Thank you for taking your time and effort to do this for others. What a great way to promote the hobby to newcomers and others who haven't hopped the fence yet.
Maybe the video should have a warning that once you start, it becomes a snowball rolling down a steep slippery slope.

Thank you for another informative video. I’m very tempted to buy a basic Leopard and have a go at your methods.

Re: Heng long leopard 2A6 7.0 quick build
You did a great job on this paint job . I am tackling this as a noob, and I was trying to do the headlight mod and messed up my headlights. I also tried to coat it clear flat, and it totally messed up the finish. I tried to do windows, and the acrylic I bought will not snap easily after scoring it. So I am using a dremel to shape every window. 
I wish I could make this thing look as nice.
On a side note, I found out that mineral spirits will not destroy the plastic or the factory paint; however, acetone will.

Good of you to join us, but it is the polite thing to do, is an introduction, in the introductory section first. It’s a very British thing. This is to encourage you to participate, and we can help with answers. So I have read that you are newby, but fear not you will be helped.

Hi! The modern stuff is kinda rewarding, and you have less to break on it, if you know what I mean!Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 2:30 am I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from HengLong were to contact you about using your video.

I really want to work out the gun stabilisation stuff!
Sorry I’ve taken ages to get back.
