Roger Newsome Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Although I'm not a massive fan of over the top heavily weathered models I couldn't resist having a little go myself, just for the fun of it...... just this once. ๐ ย ย ย ย ย 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a few and then went for it. ๐ Roger.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) You might call it over the top, but it's more like a parade ground finish compared to the condition of some of the tanks on the Russian front. It's a great model and done in such a short time. Nice one. ย John. Edited October 23, 2019 by Bullbasket typo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing fancy, just two sheets of A4 paper and the camera on my Samsung tablet. ๐ Roger.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostrich Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 A tablet camera? Now that surprises me. I'd had bet on a SLR. The only thing that reveals the short focal length is the slight lack of depth of field. But that is easily manageable with a cheap compact camera and a tripod. Non the less well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
