Finally finished. Tamiya's T-55 kit, heavily modified ICM figures with Hornet heads, finished with Tamiya, Gunze, and Vallejo acrylics. Markings are from Empire City. Weathered with oils and Gamblin dry pigments. It's far from perfect but I'm pretty happy with it considering it's the first armor kit I've built in at least 15 years. Enjoy.

David, great job! Really nicely finished kit and figures and the background setting really sets off your photo series. Terrific!

You really nailed that camo. I was through there shortly after the conflicts "subsided" and spotted some of the equipment. Most were camo painted with what ever spray cans they could find, as long as the color fit their needs.

Good Job.

The camo is excellent. I like that you left off one of the fuel cans. Most people think that it is necessary to have both included in their build. Might I suggest adding some dirt to the road wheels and tracks.
