Hi all!smile

This is the Tamiya kit built straight from the box. I make optics and separate elements of a tower and the tank case. This model was painted in modulation style with Tamiya colors and weathered with Mig’s filters, pigments and oils.

Some photos of the collected models …

… I decided to do it on a blue barrel, as in this picture. I think this will add originality.

As the filters I use transparent varnish.

Thank you Franco!
It was quite a chore to paint this tank … large size resulted in a long time toning … But in the end I won this model!pirate

Dilution of varnishes and paints from Tamiya I use …. vodka.
Yes, yes you heard right, and vodka.
It dissolves the Tamiya acrylic very well.
