Takom Chieftain Mk10

[TristanR]

Hello! I'm a Fairly recent returnee to to the hobby, and was keen to try out all these new techniques.

Please excuse this rusty Chieftain, I got one of those Tank Art books, and it's easy to get carried away practicing all those techniques. I could say it was a very lucky range target, but I don't suppose they'd leave the baskets and GPMG on... Anyway, I had fun making it (Apart from the tracks, that wasn't fun) and learnt a lot about chipping, oil paint and such.

Cheers!

Nice work on the weathering effects. I wouldn't worry about the accuracy if you had fun

[fredben]

Done a good job there. just do what you want on the builds no need to worry about accuracy, just enjoy...the weathering effects you have done are brilliant. The rust effect and scratches look spot on. Well done.

[Carius]

Looks great.

Well done.

[PlaStix]

Well for saying you are a recent returnee you seem to mastered the art of weathering beautifully! Some off those photos look like they could be of the real thing. Very well done.

Lovely - the more I see this kit, the more I want one. Or two. Or three.

Looks good from here, nice job all round, your rust looks good but I suspect the RSM may just explode!

[brodiebear]

Very nice

well, your rust may be a little overdone, as you say, but I really love the effect you have achieved. You seem to be mastering all the techniques nicely. Mike does say in the books, it takes about 4-5 kits to achieve the best results. Looks like you are well on your way

Good effects on the Chiefy. I'd say that Tank Art book was money well spent.

Thanks for all the nice comments folks! I have ordered Takom's new T-55 for my next tank, this time with less rust.

[Calum]

Whilst it might not be 100% accurate you've done a great job on it. The rust effects are fantastic.

[Bodmin]

Oh yes. Very nice and good weathering too. It looks to be a lovely kit.

That's a beauty mate! Weathering is spot on for me, got some really nice rust effects going on! Well done!

Great weathering, nice model

Looks great - i have the berlin Brigade one to do next and am dreading the tracks - did you go all the way round or stop behind the skirts?

[TristanR]

Thankyou all for the comments,

Davidb, I decided to go the whole way with the tracks, mainly because I didn't think it was possible to paint them off the tank. It was a total pain in the bottom.

With paint
