You can. Perhaps stick with the 85 for now and get a feel for the finer side of things by doing upgrades. It how I started. That white on in the photo started like just like yours. It now has a complete metal Torro lower hull including all wheel and tracks an infra red battle system an ibu and a half decent paint job. The green one is home build but it’s pretty much what you would get from a wooden box Torro t34/85 even down to the paint job. It has been weathered and given a different number.

But I will take a few close ups of each for you a little later

Yea I agree, knowing I can expand what I already had to different models is pretty exciting. The green one is the look I’m going for and similar markings so more of that one would be awesome. Thanks again!

...and we can enjoy your new found passion, Alex. Welcome and greetings from the Highlands (though my Mum was a 'wegie' from Bellshill... )

Thank you! Greetings from the lowlands I’m in Paisley, but a regular highland visitor

There we are Alex here’s the first 2 sets of photos 1 of my winter 85 and the other is my su-85 that I have just finished weathering with the power of the make up spunge

WOW! That snow weathering is stunning!! Thank you! Sooo many ideas!

A little tip that was an idea my dad had with his king tiger that I stole. For the snow it’s self that you can see on the fuel tanks rather than shelling out on snow pigment I took myself down to the local Superdrug and got me some talcum powder. It gives a good enough effect it’s cheaper and you don’t need to glue it on. You can add it smudge it around with a make up brush or when you get fed up of it it will just brush off. Again with a makeup brush.

Its really affective and looks very realistic
