your welcome for the link Tigerman and Lizard
and i forgot, the tank looks great i like the rusty bits and the wood finish
Thanks everyone.
Demon- yea the base looks pretty real cause well it is. It’s nothing more than an old hickory tree that got blown overa few years ago. I figured I would put the tank on it and take a few pics and see how they came out. Did pretty good.
Peter- Thanks for all that info, helps out alot on a subject not to familiar with. Just putting it together right now until I get to a point to start painting.
Robert- It probally is the camera and the sun. I started out with gun metal, dry brushed with steel on the highpoints and rust on the lows and finished with some pastels. I think the tracks were the best result with the whole kit. One thing I did try out on this one that you can’t see is the board on the front. I tried out the wood grain tip that was in the current FSM and seemed to work pretty good, just need to practice it some more.
Thanks for the comments all, can’t wait to get the halftracks up to be seen. Allthough the mrs. has gotten a little frustrated with hers, just have to see if I can get it straightened out for her.
