alanbeeb Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Finally.... only took me two months but serious illness in the family took me out of things for 6 weeks and was nearly finished then. Fairly pleased with this as a follow on from the old-skool tamiya Panther I built in March. Some of the decals are not quite right but something that I like on the shelf is more important than accuracy for me. Going contemporary with next build.... RFM Challenger 2 or Trumpeter T-14 Armata are waiting, but they might not get done until after summer when outdoors hopefully beckons. Straight out of box, no changes, painted with Vallejo acrylics and varnishes (which I am finally beginning to appreciate now I am learning how to use the airbrush). Mostly US Army Olive Drab 71.043 Edited May 9, 2021 by alanbeeb 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Great build with just the right amount of weathering. Nice one. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I like it. The paintwork looks just right to me. It goes nicely with the Panther too. All you need now is a base with a model of Cologne Cathedral...😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(its surprising how much bigger the Panther seems, but I suppose it was 50 tons compared to the Pershing's 38 tons. Must do something about the tracks on the Panther one day!)

Peter Browne Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Sweet! I do prefer the cleaner, representative style, and that's what it is, a style. Leave the mud and weeds for dioramas, I think that's where it belongs, at least that's my preference. I think they had a disagreement in that last photo... Very nice models and modulation! I think you have the same IKEA Billy shelves as I use for my displays and books, might pay to get some glass doors to keep the dust off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbeeb Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Yes Ikea Billy - but the shelves below hold a stash of LP records, which overhang the shelves by an inch - so couldn't fit doors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Very nice, but you need to tie down the crates......one bump and they would be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbeeb Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I was googling for pics of how the boxes would be secured but what I found showed ration boxes just piled up higgeldy piggeldy on the rear of the tank. I'm a bit casual about these things I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
