I completed the tool posts and the model has now been painted.



The Kit supplies you with laser cut tool post frames. The frames themselves are nicely shaped and appear to be to scale. For the tool clamps and posts I added my own brass versions that were soldered to the steel.

Stock







Reworked.









The sledge hammer tool posts are half scratch built and half kit reworked.





The model was painted in it's final prime.















The tank's base color has also been added

























Now the tank is off to get its cammo. Now the fun can begin!

I have applied the tank's cammo pattern. The model is now off for its markings and weathering.

The tank's Markings and weathering are complete. Once the model gets its tools and a few other small items it is ready for the field :-P

The model is now finished and I had a chance to get the model outside to take some out door diorama shots.


















































I'll be posting more images on the tank's webpage once it is complete. After that it's off to the next project

wow. there is just not another word to describe this but wow.
very nice work. I'm guessing the work took a lot of strength and sweat.
could you post a short video of it moving?
hmm, i guess there are no PE sets for you, eh?
