Tamiya 1/35 Churchill. With updates.

[eddiesolo]

This is my 1/35 Crocodile tank that is knocked out. The flash, coupled with the lights in the shed have given it a metallic look, but it isn't, also I have used two greens-just to break it up and add a in-field rush camo scheme. It has been damaged with two shell hits, one fatal-have tried to mimic stress cracks emanating from the holes. It has had its first wash and is left to dry-still loads to do.

This comes with trailer and parts for the flame-thrower or you can make it standard. I will have another look in the box as I am sure I saw the two vent cowlings and add on exhaust.

UPDATE:

Added some more washes/filters and made two ariel's. Added smoke damage to the openings and added some bits and bobs. Still more to do.

It looks great mate you knw that burn on the front hatch , if you put a bit of liquid superglue on the edge and wet it with water it will fog up and give an ash effect

Mate, this is turning out to be a great armour build

It's looking good Si.

Ta fellas, glad you're liking it so far, just figuring out the board layout then I can work on the tank a bit more.

What doesn't show up too well in the pictures is the slight wearing on the hatches, hinges, edges etc. This was created using a pencil and I find it a more natural look than using dry-brushing. You get a dull gleam-if that makes sense.o_O

UPDATE.

The tank is now finished, all the burning and ash added, decals added, muddied up, horrible Warhammer grass used for in the tracks-better stuff for the board, when it comes.

Next stop is the board.
