Nice! Isn't it a great feeling when you unmask your model after painting? Almost like opening a present! Haha!

I will be away from home for several days, so the build is on pause for a bit. Maybe Gzregorz can post advances on his build.

I am back. Here is some advance:

I did an overall wash with oils, and now I am doing some pinwashing:




Fender after pinwash:




Other fender without pinwash:

Almost done with pinwashing.

Now just a fun comparisson: My Takom Armata next to my T-90MS:

Armata is a much bigger tank. Amazing size comparison!

Done with washes, and dry brushing here and there. I thought originally to do some rain marks, but in all of my reference pictures I see none. Since this cammo was only used for exhibit purposes, it looks spotless on most pictures. Therefore, I am thinking not to go into any more weathering.

I will use this figures on the model:



Not sure what pattern uniform to use. Any ideas considering it is probably a model 2012?

some of the uniforms you see with the T-90MS:

I think, the most accuratte figures for your tank, comes from Ant Miniatures:



This is one of them.

I have the tank other modern tankers with the "cowboy" outfit. But I think that outfit was introduced after 2012.

This is the other Tank set I was referring to. Modern Russian tank crew in uniform "Ratnik". This uniform was introduced after 2012.

I had bought this last one for my Armata but finally didn't use them.

I think I am pretty much done:




Tomorrow I will post better pictures.

And some closeups of the crew:

IT WAS A FUN BUILD. THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING CHEERS !

While I am not a fan the paint scheme you chose I admire the effort you made to achieve it as it turned out very well. I also enjoyed following your build which produced a very neatly assembled final product. The addition of the crew figures really adds.

Thank you armorsmith.

My T-90MS on it's place on the shelf. Right between my M-60 and my Merkava:

Excellent work Marcos! The finished model looks great ... also the figures! Well done.

Cheers
Walter
