Hi all...I want to share with you this,my Leclerc...it's still a wip,I need to do more thing on it,add bolts here and there,detail some areas.I have added anti-slip cause it's a bit too soft and I've noted that on real tank it appears too rough.
I have planned another Leclerc for the summer with bins opens and other things of this type.
I want to say a big thank you to:
Pierre at Maquettegarden(very kind person,he help me for my 2nd Leclerc,photos and explanations)
and
Oliver Carneau(tweak list for Leclerc and photos)
This one will be painted in white camo,Finul Opex,Lebanon.
Comments and observations are appreciate as always.
Regards
Ciro Riccio

I like the non slip idea, I about to start on the Leclerc soon so will follow this with interest, I should say your model looks awsome at this stage and look forward to the finish

looking very very nice. I really like the antislip coating, very neat and precise

Your anti-slip is excellent. Could you share how you made it?

Hi all,well it's not so difficult to do anti-slip..
First off all I mask the areas that don't need anti slip,then I spray this areas (once at time) with hairspray,then I add some sand on it.
Remove the extra part that aren't fixed on the surface.
A light coat of tamiya primer to secure the whole thing...it's delicate,however,you can use brush(for weathering with oils or pigment)but it need attention,
You need to know the specific of your sand...maybe it absorbs paint or thinner or oils.
So,be sure to try this on old model or a piece of plasiticard.
