Old Tamiya M10 Tank Destroyer (Tank Busters SIG)

[Centurion3RTR]

Hello all, Well what can i say. The M10 is finished for one lol, hopefully i've done my challenge by bringing it up to date. This is the first time i've used Vallejo Pigments too, think i could of done a better job of getting inside the tracks but i'm happy with how it turned out.

The build can be found here http://www.scale-models.co.uk/tank-busters/16544-1975-tamiya-m10-tank-destroyer.html

Thanks for looking, and i look forward to your comments.

Nice job of an old kit.

I find that updating an older kit can be more satisfying than a straight build of a new one.

Looks fantastic john! Ive no idea what to look for to tell its an older kit but (armour, its a mystery to me !!) either way its a great build, The base is fab too , and the weathering is excellent. 5 star job mate , cheers tony

Thanks guys, and for the five. Yes Malc this one was a very satisfying build mate, even enjoyed the scratch building too. Just wanted something simple for the base Tony, but it turned out better than i thought lol.

Thanks again. Have fun, John

That has come out a treat John. The weathering is good and as for your doubts with the mud, no worries, it looks like mud to me!

A great job on an old kit, well worth five more stars.

The base is excellent by the way. I like simple.

Thanks Ian, had some fun with the pigments. It says you can use water to fix it, but everytime i touched the model some came off. In the end i used Pledge multi mixed with the pigments, worked a treat. I must remember too, when i'm using an old toothbrush to splat the mix on i must do it in a big box. It goe's everywhere lol.

Have fun, John

Very nice Job John.

Always I'm afraid to use pigments, I believe they are difficult to use and obtain a real effect, undoubtedly you have done that this seems to be real!!

5 stars as well!!

Cheers. Polux

Thanks for the comments guys, very much appreciated.

Polux my friend, don't be afraid to use pigments because they're more scared of you lol. I found it better to mix the Vallejo Pigments with Pledge Multi Surface Wax to a nice creamy consistency and flick it on with an old toothbrush, looks more natural too.

Have fun, John

Thank you very much John!!!

Will try your trick, I have to search a victim... :thumbsup:

Cracking job mate, i noted the differences between your M10 build and the one i did, there's certainly a short-fall of detail here which you have (as usual) overcome and remastered.

Definitely well worth five stars John.

[Centurion3RTR]

Thanks Colin mate, it was acceptable back in the day lol. But it was very enjoyable to sort out. I do have the Italeri M10 Achilles in the stash too, and i feel some more scratch building coming on.

Thanks again, have fun

Good looking M10 John. Nicely done and I love the way you've built up the mud in the crevices.

5 star build mate.

I love dirty things. I'll have to have a go at something in armour one day, just to get dirty. Great job.
