The_Lancaster Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hey all, Here's my rendition of the new Conqueror kit from Amusing Hobby. I picked this up from a recent pre-covid to the Tank Museum, Bovington after I kinda fell in the love with the real thing... What a beast! The kit is OOB except from the Aber gun barrel, because the original was a bit naff and basic. I also scratchbuilt a canvas mantlet cover out of milliput. I painted her using Tamiya Acrylics, namely XF-58 Olive Green, which may have looked a bit light but after a bit of weathering it created a good scale representiation. Weathering was with oil paints either thinned and used as washes or used as a dot filter. The tracks were plastic and click together, which were nice, but the joins weren't too strong as the tips of the plastic pins that were meant to snap into place snapped off instead. So fitting them to the model were fun... They were weathered with a burnt sienna & raw umber wash mixed 1:1 together. I then crushed up a pencil lead and rubbed it over the high points to create a metallic effect. Thanks for looking, and apologies for the lighting but i'm just settling in with a new photobox and I've yet to adjust the lights in my new setup Sam 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Lovely job, and a nice clean finish. That's a "before" going out on the Sennelager ranges. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lights were made from using a pack of kids assorted plastic gemstone stickers I got from Hobbycraft Thanks for all of your interest guys!
