Hi my friends,
I would like to share my T72 from Tamiya. I added (at least) the final touches last week and I consider the project done for 99,9%. (so I may still post it in the RRB :-))
I hope you like it and if you have questions, please ask

There's one hope fulfilled.
Fantastic work, I love the weathering and the figure.

Nice work on the t-72.
One question. This exhaust stain is it always so prominent?

Very nice model. I am especially impressed with the quality of your pictures. Excellent detail, lighting and focus.

Looks pretty good, but the exposed upper track run is floating way above at least the first two roadwheels. If possible, you should try to coax that down to make contact with the wheels or replace the fender skirt.

Looks Nice. You have put some effort into this one. You may want to redo the IR lights as the glass appears wrinkled.

Unlike the T55 and T62, which have a Christy suspension, the T72 has support rollers. The track shouldn't set on the roadwheels. "Q"

Hi!
Sorry for the late replie because I just returned from camping with boy-scouts.
@ Dave: Thanks for the compliment. It was my first seriously painted figure so I'm glad you like it. But I really need to practise more...
@ Quinten:
I took this picture at the Tankdepot in Kapelle some time ago.
@ Jeffrey: Thanks
@Al LaFleche: Matthew is right
@John: You are about the IR lenses. I tried to replicate the glass with some Heki Glue but I added too much of it so it came over the edge Nevertheless I like the endresult and i will definately try it again.
Thanks for the commments guys!

Jurjen, did you use the Frui tracks on this? It looks like it, but I can't tell from the pics. "Q"

Cheers!

Jurjen, I thought so. They look great. What was your process for weathering them? "Q"

Looking great Jurjen!!
I know you weren't too keen about the paint-job in the beginning, but if all MY models would look like yours, I wouldn't compleign!!
Outstanding work, specially on the figgie, which is a first!!
