TAMIYA T-72

UPDATE

So over time, I have slowly been playing with pigments and and the Tamiya "compacts" for weathering, think it looks pretty good

It is super-glued to the base for one of those stackable acrylic cases that you can get at Hobby Lobby.

I think it looks awesome...dude :ro:
Always wondered how them "compacts" would work out.
 
It looks good. A couple things to point out, the tow cable on the front is only attached on one end. IRL, that would be dragging the ground in no time. Second, in your first photo, the tracks appear to be arcing upward between the sprocket and the road wheel. Might be an illusion, but the other side doesn't show that. The undictching log is pretty shiny, might want to tone it down. Adding some bare metal on edges that get used a lot with a soft lead pencil will make it look realistic. Lastly, be sure to add some dust in the crevices of horizontal surfaces. Keep it light and subtle, don't over do it. :good:
