Well done on that Pergola... At least it will give them some shade since it won't do anything to stop a Javelin.

Thanks Mr Tankme, somewhere for Tweety to hang !
I’m half expecting a 3D printed version now I’ve done mine
Perhaps a couple of deck chairs under it would be appropriate

great idea

The camera is not able to convey the play of colors, well, only a little ...

Herman!
You know me, I am all about Detail being the Heaven and Hel of a Build. You've accomplished some extremely cool things here on this T90. Following along,

cheers Mr Wolf, great to know you're looking in
To a degree it the least Ive had to do to a tank as its all there out of the box, but as its uncharted waters, being a modern, its still got a lot of unknown aspects that I need to deal with.
Getting it looking rough for me is key, and its just not lending itself to being and easy-rough'y !
Mud, dust, stowage and crew rubbish is vital.

Thanks Mr Pavel, great pics.
Mine is similar, and equally hard to photograph.....................

Yes, I also think that the tank should not be clean, as for a holiday parade!
But when colleagues make him look like they got him out of a swamp, where he rotted for 20 years, these are also excesses.
So they strive to show the skill of weathering...

Not real good. Theres not much in Aus that I can lay my hands on.

What did you have in mind? Soft-bodied objects are a bit beyond my skills (and software!), but anything rigid is doable.
