That's an outstanding example for me how far you can get with a bit of putty and scratch materical, even without a metric ton of PE parts. You did a fabulous job so far, thumbs up for that. +1 ... old simple kits are often a good base for improvement ... PE, scratchbuilding or whetever !

FrancisGL Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Good progress with kit, I am surprised by these kits, which although old, and not very precise (this specifically I believe has the back of the engine straight, instead of a little inclined like the real model, maybe to adjust the batteries and the engine inside), but you do not feel like it or you have enough ability to scratch it, it does not matter, it looks like a T62... it's a T62 ... lol. I myself intend to do one of theseMaybe the tracks have been an added bit expensive (possibly costing you more than the kit ), although it certainly improves a lot ...

Bullbasket Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's looking really good in it's cammo scheme. Nice job. The road wheels are a definite improvement, especially the hub detail. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hi, Thanks for the feedback.. I have been plodding onwards. I have added a filter made from oil paints and then some further stains, and finally a layer of 'dust' in the form of some thinly sprayed buff enamel... I then made a Recognition panel out of milliput and painted this in a fluro orange mix... I'm using a different camera for these images a Lumix GF1... It's stuck to the box with a blob of blue tack to make handling easier... Cheers Plasto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cameras for this type of work. It's certainly showing up the good work that you've done with this. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks, Here is is where we ended up yesterday. A bit more weathering and I fitted the tracks. Cheers Plasto 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yes, those Fruilmodel tacks are the bees knees when it come to a tank like this one. The sag is so realistic. Glad I got them for my Tiran. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That is great progress Plasto! It certainly looks impressive with the tracks on. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 So a brief update. I have been working on some caltrops antitank defences to add to s scenic base I'm going to place the T-62 in. I knocked up the design in Solid works and printed some off on the 3D printer. They are a rough approximation of a Soviet era concrete Caltrops. I might use use these as is or refine em a bit and use them as a casting pattern... cheers Plasto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
