Ross,
Nice work on the turret, it certainly looks nice and busy.

Michael, yes that's always the way isn't it :smiling5:.
Steve, great one for sympathy you are mate :anguished:
Scottie, cheers mate.

Well it's all finished, time to start painting.




I'm not mounting the machine gun, I'll paint it off then add at the end.

cheers

Camo done, added a filter, Tan for Tritonal camo seemed a good choice. The eagle eyed among you might notice that I've broken the aerial, which was bound to happen.





Another gloss coat and I can start the weathering.

cheers

Morning Ross,
That sure is a bristling turret. Reminds me of the Zvezda T-90 kit....that I never finished weathering:thinking:

Painting looks funky at the mo....I’m sure this will tone down with the weathering steps:thumb2:

Very nice work so far :smiling3:.

The tank does look busy with all the blocks etc. The camo looks good, makes a change from plain green Russian armour. Nice work Ross. :thumb2:

Hi Ross
Seemed to have missed a bit - we have paint. Love that turret. Looking really good so a bit of blood is a small price to pay. Simon T usual adds a bit of the red stuff to his builds and they turn out well :rolling:

Wonderful work on the camo. Very effective indeed. I am sure you will sort out the aerial with no probs

[RM6239]

Si, I hope so mate.

Thanks Ralph.

Cheers Graeme, it was fun to paint.

Jim, not really I just went straight through priming and preshading straight to paint.

Steve, I should know better, always leave aerials until everything is finished.

cheers
Ross
