Academy 1/35 M-60A1 Rise

 

 

 

 

She has been on the wall of shame for a looooong time. It is time to finish her properly. 

Some light weathering and a bit of stowage. 

DBDU camo was easier to paint than I thought. Still a lot to do. 

The start of a camo net. Forming a pipe cleaner to fit the turret 

Pipe cleaner ready for some tissue. 

I formed the camo net with deluted white glue. 

The net is ready for some texture 

Tea leafes from a tea bag and a bit of oregano. Remove bits that look like leafes. 

Mock up of the whole thing. The camo net has got the first layer of paint. 

Still a lot to do, but it will be finished this time. 

I was not happy with the TC figure so I promoted the loader and made a new loader from spare parts, I guess he is a Frankentanker… 

If you are interested in testing your patience, I suggest making the inner lining of a 1/35 PASGT helmet… 

Made a simple base from a picture frame, DAS clay, AK acrylic texture, poly yarn and fibres from an old paintbrush. 

The crew is soon ready to take command of the tank. I rearly paint details that can´t be seen, hence the lack of paint on the trousers. 

The crew is ready for action. 

Finished! I will post some better pictures tomorrow.
