Completed - Spanner's 1/72 PST Iraqi T54. Beowulf's Little Armour G.B. 2019

[spanner570]

Superb little kit from, at least to me, an unknown manufacturer PST. Great fit with very little cleaning up. Well recommended.
I just couldn't bring myself to wreck it, sorry.
I'll see if I can find something suitable to destroy before the end of this G.B.

All brush painted and weathered using Vallejo Model Air Acrylics, a pencil and some dry filler powder. I painted the Iraqi flag freehand using a diddy brush after first drawing the flag on to the turret with a pencil.
The base is made from scrap polystyrene. Kitchen foil, coffee stirrers, scraps of foam board suitably scribed, floor sweepings and half a crunched up weetabix make up the rest.

Ron,
Another excellent build from the spanner stable. Your knack for turning everyday items into such great scenery never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks Paul and Paul!

When my dad was trying his best to teach me some modelling skills all we had was everyday stuff, so I guess old habits die hard. Not that I want to change things...... :thumb2:

Not buying stuff also means more beer tokens.... :hungry:

Somehow I'm not surprised! You have a real skill at recycling oddments into works of art Ron.

Just a thought. Didn't you do a little Russian truck towing an AA gun last year which was from PST?
