85sqn Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I am really impressed with this, lots of different techniques in there. I like the used look with a cleat and part of thr track guard missing. The lighting and photography is superb, I will definitely look out for this in AMW, it's certain!y something to aspire to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Cracking build Andy. Really like the weathering on the welds and the ladder on the turret. The bits of snow in the corners look excellent, as do the sag in the tracks. Well done. Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Absolutely superb! It looks real, which I guess is what we are all striving for. I'll look forward to reading the article in AMW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Another superb example of modelling there, Andy! And another one of the more steampunk/dieselpunk tank designs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks for the comments everyone Cracking build Andy. Really like the weathering on the welds and the ladder on the turret. The bits of snow in the corners look excellent, as do the sag in the tracks. Well done. Joe Thanks Joe. I'd originally intended to add more snow and a few icicles hanging down but I had to cut back on it a bit as the mag required the final shots on a white background so the images could be composited on the page and any snow or icicles round the edges wouldn't have shown up. Now it's done I'll try and get round to adding a bit more as I think it will add to the wintry effect. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think it looks perfect as it is, but if you do add some more snow, would you please post it so we can see how it looks. Cheers, Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
