alexclark Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Hi all This is a conversion I'm doing of the ModelCollect T-80BV kit to a modernised version. The sand coloured resin parts are home-cast pieces and I've used a few bits from other kits - the Zvezda BMPT and T-90A. A master for the turret reactive armour modules. Turret roof reactive armour I thinned the turret stowage basket The competed turret The completed model. A couple of coats of primer Edited July 24, 2018 by alexclark Tags 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenoz Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Saw this one on FB, but it is for sure an outstanding piece of work so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 A Modelcollect T-80BV just rolled up at Squarehead Towers.....It's a nice kit with etch included, but no L&L in my boxing, it seems the actual contents of a Modelcollect kit can be a bit of a lottery. Looking forward to seeing the paintwork develop, what paints do you recommend for the various Russian camo schemes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That sound, that you didn't hear but I did, was my jaw hitting the floor! You hooked me with the first photo (of the ERA Master!). Incredible work and what skill too. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post war and modern Russian armour is a bit of an obsession of mine so I always try and go the extra mile with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Tamiya acrylics for the overall green, a mix of Buff, Field Grey and Olive Drab in a 2:1:1 ratio. It's quite light but various weathering steps alter the shade so I allow for that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As compared to your other stuff (which is only mind-warpingly good)? You are far too modest sometimes Alex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 That is absolutely stunning!! So neat and tidy and an astounding level of detail. Almost seems a shame to paint it and hide all the different materials. All the best Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
