The_Lancaster Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hey guys, This is Takom's new Maus, and it's a nice kit! Resembling something of an IKEA item, the vehicle is pretty much flat-pack with sides slotting into each other and the most complex bits being the running gear and track, where the track is made from 3 pieces per link and each piece is secured by at least six points connecting it to the sprue... The paint scheme is off the top of my head, a splinter camouflage influenced by an ambush scheme, then painted in Mr. Hobby Colours. The weathering was grimy enough as I created various airbrushed effects and then using oil paints, washed, filtered and streaked the rest. Thanks for looking guys!

Soeren Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Nice. That is one I would like to build some time in the future as well. Do you have another 1/35 scale tank for a side by side size comparison? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Nice job, lovely splinter camo. One could mistake the camo on the front as a set of stairs for access to the driver's hatch! A ridiculous tank on all counts, but still a viable subject for us AFV modellers. I've always fancied making the point by building one and camouflaging it to look like a farm building with fake windows, doors and brickwork..... Rearguards, Badder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sairou Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Impressed by the paint scheme, really sets this model apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the comments guys, greatly appreciated! Sam 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
