45DegreesModelling Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Here is my recently finished 1/35 Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog. I’m still relatively new to modelling and especially armour modelling. It was my first time trying some new techniques and I’m quite proud as to how it came out. Still lots of improvements to be made but I had so much fun making it! Cheers, Tom Edited November 25, 2021 by 45DegreesModelling 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mukund SB Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Looking Great. Clean Build. I especially like the subtle weathering. Thanks for sharing. I built the Skybow version long time back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Nice work on the painting & weathering. The periscope glass on the commanders cupola would, I think, look more realistic painted in a much darker shade. Maybe gloss Panzer Grey or NATO black.

45DegreesModelling Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Thank you everyone for your nice comments. I‘m new to the forum so I‘m hoping to post my build photos as well as the finished products. Pete, I think you’re right, the periscope glass was a bit of an after thought if I’m being honest.

Geo1966 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 How about a coat of Tamiya Smoke. It is translucent and i find it pretty good for periscopes. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/81519/index.htm George 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
