The Duke's Armor Count is up to 609 now...

[Duke Maddog]

Here are three more tanks finished just this week. This brings my count up to 609 armor models finished.

These are all the Dragon models in 1/72 scale.

The Ha Go:

The Ha Go North China version:

And the Chi Ha early version:

Here they are all together:

There they are. Comments are welcome, thanks all for looking in.

Nice work Mark, you use pigments for the mud and stuff?

 

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks MP! Yeah, these are Tankrats pigments I got back when he was in business. They had cost a lot less than Mig so I picked them up. They were the first ever weathering pigments I ever used. Great powders, too bad there's no way to get them anymore. Maybe next I'll pick up some Warpigs from Jeff Herne.

I actually mixed the pigments in water and brushed them on selected areas of the tank. Made for a nice muddy look I thought.

 

[MrT]

WOW! I bet those are really small.

 

[reconron]

Yeah,that's it,this is how pigment weathering should be done!
You have done well,Mark!

Greetings,Ron.

That weathering job is just right for those tanks. Very good job my friend.

[Duke Maddog]

Wow! Thanks guys! I'm real happy with the way these turned out.

Yes, Mr. T, the two Ha Go's are only about an inch and a half long, the Chi Ha is more like two and a quarter inches to two and three quarter inches. Very small for tanks.

 

[Dave wahl]

Man, thats only about the size of a Pz I or II. Maybe even the Pz III in 1/72 scale. That is really small. Great job non the less.
