I have been ocuppied for a bit, So Happy New Beers to everyone in 2010. So here is a project I have been building for the past few months...I wanted to do a T55 with camo. I found just what I was looking for in a model copied by Chris Wauchop from and article he found in Tamiya Magazine 2003. The original model was done by Marcus Nicholls...I just changed a couple of things...and I have to warn you....my scratch building abilities are still a bit primative....
Here I cast a copy of the outer wheel and shaved of the rubber, as if the wheel had copped a beating.
The Hull together, and some plumbing added to the fuel tanks
Primed in Tamiya NATO Black
Now a Mixture of Tamiya Desert Yellow and White
Now add the Cam in Tamiya Field Grey
And this is how it is looking now....It has had some oil filters painted over it, some chipping using Vallejo paints, and Mig pigment to show the build up of dust around the lower hull.
It has Fruil Tracks painted and washes added, waiting in the wings...They just need to be touched up with the pigments and the ends joined together and fitted to the tank.
A couple more little adjustments, and it should be finished....
So Wad do ya tinks ?
