toniosky 468 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Hi there, This is my first AFV build. The MiniArt kit is a pleasure to build despite the high number of parts and these horrible track links. I liked it so much that I bought the T-55 from the same customer, but this time I will use some Friul tracks, or similar. Some details were replaced/scratchbuilt and the slogan on the side made shorter, except for that the rest is from the box. Cheers, Antoine Edited October 19, 2020 by toniosky 23 Link to post Share on other sites
StuartH 387 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Nice work. I particularly like the chipping and the effects around the exhausts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lada 104 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Very nice, like the bent fenders and missing fuel tank! The weathering on the tracks is also on point. What did you use for the mud texture? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

For the mud texture I simply sprinkled a semi-liquid solution of plaster of Paris mixed with pigments by pulling/releasing the bristles of a paint brush Link to post Share on other sites

The base color is the 4BO from Mig, to which I tried to add some variations with beige, yellow, dark green and even a bit of blue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
