Really nice! I could never work with something that small! That's amazing!

Superb!

Did you use an airbrush on that?

Wow, I love how the details pop out without the wash being heavy. The diorama composition is very nice and the tank is not lost in it. The weathering looks good for the scale. What airbrush did you use? I use a Badger 150 with a the very fine needle to accomplish freehand camou work like yours.

I like seeing well built and well-painted 1/144 armour. Thumbs up to you my man for the patience in your 1/144 work

Whenever a smaller scale model gives an impression of being 1/35 scale, I'm impressed. And this, is truly deserving of a 'jaw on floor' smiley.... bravo.

I don't get it. I just don't get it... How can anyone pull out such an amazing result on such a tiny thing... Beautiful piece of mini-art.

Glad you liked it folks. A big thank you for your kind comments.
You should try one of these. When I said it was fun I really meant that. Half dozen parts and no putty. Two afternoons of work and it was done.
I used a Sagyma 770 airbrush - kinda Chinese copy of the Iwata HP-C - and low pressure (about 7 psi). It has a 0.2mm nozzle, but I'm pretty sure I could do it with my trusty Badger 100 using properly thinned paint. Just needed some training on the Sagyma...
Thanks again
Take care

Rogerio,

Magnificant! Just way to cool. . . this is extreme modeling at its best. The build, the weathering, the dio. GOLD!!! First Place all the way!

Thanks for posting and sharing your build. I will now need to go out and get a new set of eye glasses to be able to see what I'm doing on this giant 72nd scale build that I am working on but that may not help!
