This one will eventually move into dioramas- but since it is just two tanks now it can wait...I am nearly done with the Ukrainian tank- bringing it to AMPS Nationals and getting the feedback helps me know what I need to work on for the diorama...

I will be using a mix of these two figure sets....

The other component to this is a T-72 wreck- I am basing on this photo:

Our resident Sharkmouth is being quite helpful with advice and photos- I have picked up the Verlinden engine compartment, Panzerart burnt out wheels and Panzerwerk Design 3D tracks which are my new obsession...

More to come soon...

Worked on the hull a bit today-- not as much to add with most of it blown off....

Working on the burned out T-72...primer coat down. Now on to lots of rust and ash. Gotta build something up for the gun to insert into since the only option is the vinyl canvas cover which is long gone in the reference photo.

I don't think we've had a good knocked out subject here in a while.

Well that is because what @Jeeves is modeling is a tank empty of fuel and ammunition. Remember, this is usually the result when it has ammunition and fuel, the infamous turret toss:

Famous now thanks to the Trumpeter kit but click to see the 2022 turret toss inspiring this box art:

Looking at the reference photo, there was no massive toss but I'd say the turret was definitely displaced as its partially resting on the engine deck. Maybe just a little burp of an explosion?

OK...just added the first rust coloration- used Lifecolor Rust Base Color...much more to come. The spattering was intentional to try to get some texture to the rust.
