Andy Moore Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Sharotank Soviet Ball Tank MiniArt 1:35 This is MiniArt's recently released Sharotank, part of their new What If...? series. Despite the somewhat far-fetched look of the subject, there were some experiments will ball tanks by the Germans and, possibly, by the Russians too. The design of MiniArt's kit seems to be based on some artwork that can be found floating around online. The kit itself is very nice, with the one exception being the grossly under-scale interior. There's seating for a five man crew, but the seats are closer to 1/48 rather than 1/35. That doesn't really detract from the model though, as you can't discernibly judge the scale of the interior through the open hatch. The figure comes from one of MiniArt's Russian tank crew sets. I added a lighting kit, designed by @Madmonk, to illuminate the interior and headlight, with the battery and switch being concealed under the base. Thanks for looking Andy 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Not normally my type of thing, but this looks incredible Andy. I really like your approach to weathering/painting, it looks so very realistic. Much to learn and admire here in finishing techniques. Love it!
