That’s a super realistic paint job! I’m still amazed by the talent on this forum.

Thank you Jimster, years ago before I joined the forum I worked on 1/35 scale models and learned to paint in the smaller scale. The chipping and weathering I learned from being a member from other experts here. was too afraid to try in the bigger scale until I picked up a few tips and tricks. Now it's quite easy and fun. Not being afraid to make a mistake makes it easy and the hardest thing to learn

Thanks Lo_Thar, tools are removable and will get some finishing soon.
Sometimes tools are painted whilst on the tanks in the field, I believe we have seen evidence of this.

One of the best paint jobs yet, like the used but not abused look. Never mind the building, we need a painting section . I had better start having a look at some builds, especially the paint and weathering sections of the 1/35 modellers. :D

Thank you Ronnie. It's still under construction. I'm adding the antenna and base today and tools have been updated with paint. Image

Very nice, you obviously did this in no time. The camo looks exceptional as does the aging. The crew must enjoy their extended living period to see the tank "rotting" by nature, not by enemy shells ;)

Nice job Carl.
Now just run it outdoors so the tracks get some dirt on them too.
