Bullbasket Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This build has been going on since February 2017, off and on, but it is finally finished. This is the Tamiya kit with some replacement parts such as main gun (Aber), MTG's, (RB Modls) turret hatch covers (Legend), tracks (Fruilmodel) and an awful lot of etched brass (Voyage). The WIP can be found here; https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235016511-tiran-5/&page=1 As always, thanks for looking and feel free to comment.

Kris B Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 As always, nice finish. Delicate weathering, and good figures. Maybe if you wish you can add some smoke around the exhaust. Russian vehicles was quite messy in this case. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've blown up one of the photos to show that there is exhaust stain around the outlet and on the stowage box behind it. The lighting that I use tends to wash out some of the features.

Some were taken with the lighting at the front, others at the rear, giving more shadow. I'm going to have to find a better method of lighting my models. Maybe some kind of filter as the 100 watt bulb is too severe. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
