Heng long leopard 2A6 7.0 quick build

[Mr tank a lot]

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.

Hi! No thank you for watching my nonsense! In never really sure if it’s that helpful and sorry for taking ages to get back.

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

Thanks! And sorry I’ve take so long to reply!

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.

Hi!
I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go to plan, if you ever need a hand, then comment on the Vid and I’ll try and help.
Acetone eats plastic for lunch! and lacquer thinner will do that too.
Thanks for watching, too kind.

When I get to a contemporary MBT build, I will be looking to follow your videos even more. I have an Abrams, Leopard, Challenger, all three in HengLong NATO camouflage, a T90, T72, as well as both versions of the Chinese ZTZs. Even with just a bit of care and weathering, the group would make a great shelf load with occasional trips around the house.

Just watched this demonstration the whole way through. Simple explanation on how to make a a toy into a good looking model, that can be accomplished, using the most basic equipment, by anyone.

I watched the you tube vids too.
You do great work Mr A Lot and its relatable to all of us. Not everyone can be a Jiminez or Nightshift, so techniques and products that you display are of immediate use.
Fantastic result and thanks for your dedication to present the you tube series', it cant be a simple thing to do either.
