Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Hello everybody... As the instigator and primary host of the. This was my take on Tamiya's classic 1/35th M48A3. It is built in the markings of "DEATH" from the 1st Marine tank Battalion C-Coy company 1970 C-12. I used a mixture of kit decals and Star decals sheet 35 C-1074. The Sandbags are made from baked sculpey modeling clay and were molded to the hull. I went for a heavily used tank covered with stowage, sometime in the rainy season. Sometime in the not to distant yet cloudy future i would like to make a base for this. Pose it in a section of a Firebase defensive perimeter. Questions, comments, or thoughts are always accepted.

Badder Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi Dennis, Colourful markings, some nice mud-work, lovely cluttery stowage and festooned with crew members. Fantastic. I look forward to seeing the diorama. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However when i do build it, i plan on using everything Ive learned on B/M to help. I may even do a WIP for it but i still need to gather the bits and pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think your description “heavily used” is a bit of an understatement! Great job, get working on that dio! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanketyblank Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Very nice indeed. I am in the middle of building this Tamiya kit myself. I have taken my “foot off the gas” over the last week or 2 but this model inspired me to get back to the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hi Dennis, Although the name of the topic gives a bit of bad vibes to click on it ..., I see that there was nothing to fear ... lol. I had not seen this work, sorry, I was tempted to do this version with the shark's mouth ... I really like the feeling of chaos, with all that equipment around the vehicle, and the crew is very necessary to complete the idea, I wish I had some "bloods" in mine ... Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
