Out of my element - toon tank! COMPLETE

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

I’ve done a bit of armor in the past but those darn road wheels… and the tracks. I sure do appreciate the builds though. So with the recent Hobby Lobby 40% deal I picked up a toon tank. Pretty fun. The plastic is strange, doesn’t sand well. So I decided to just build it and experiment with some paint techniques. Here we are so far. I primed with Tamia red oxide primer. Next was ModelMaster OD. After that I shot ModelMaster faded Olive Drab. Nicked it up with a MIG aluminum pencil. More work to do - Flory wash coming and a couple fliters. Really fun. The way I look at it I cant do anythig wrong …lol.

Welcom any suggestions from you armor guys!

My suggestion is; enjoy it! These kits are ment to be fun and they are.

Do whatever you want with it. Play with new ideas, try new techniques, and have fun doing it.

I love mine!

Nicely done!

Okay with this little turd I tried a few things. Color filters, pigments, pencils etc. Fun little kit. She’s up on the shelf and here she is

Now that looks like you enjoyed yourself. Nice finish and effects!

That looks good,I built the Toon Tiger recently as a break,was especially fun as I got it at HL for 40% off

Those are really quite cool. Very nice work there as well. It would be fun to build up a bunch of egg planes and toon tanks for part of your display.

I think your Sherman turned out really well.
They’re basically just “fun” kits.

And just having a bit’o fun… here’s what I did with mine, complete with bullet dings, cullen device and a Primitive range finder mounted on a primitive base.

Thats a blast! Super fun. I like the skull lol. I was disappointed that they didn’t include the commanders machine gun. The empty mount is a bit weird.

12

Ohhhhhhhh cool! Love those little kits, so much fun to build. And great job on yours!!!

I feel the urge to build another coming on…

Toon Tanks are a blast, have to say. Nice job on this one too. I did one a couple of years ago, have one more in a box somewhere…

If I may?

Okay,OKAY ! You’ve convinced me! I will try a Toon Tank !

17

Here’s mine

Cool!!! I’ll see about getting my two posted when I have a little more time.

TB: You should really try one. They’re a lot of fun and great to cure burn-out.

I did the Panther and Tiger for the silly egg gb a year or so ago.

Dig back in the gb page and there will be several there.

I can’t get into the toon tanks or egg planes, but I can appreciate the fun factor for those who do. Having said that you’ve done a great job on this beastie Keavdog. Very nice finish.
