This started as my first serious resin conversion. The legend set was quite nice, although the body was little warped... It took me three months to complete the beast and I must say I'm pretty satisfied with the final result... The figure is from Verlinden... Hope you like it

A fantastic model! I saw this in some of the shots from the Moson show and was hoping we could get a better look at it.

The painting is spot on, I love the subtle faded finish you have applied. Great work!

Hey Domagoj,
despite I'm not such a fan of IDF armor I've got to say that this is a great build and some very very subtle work on the paintjob.
Could you tell us some more 'bout the painting/weathering of this tank?

Cheers Max

This is a great model and the photos definitely do not show this beast in its full glory.

Great job, BumbleBee!

Thanx guys

Max: The base color is Lifecolor Israeli Sand Grey 1982 (I must say I'm very satisfied with that Lifecolor, I thinned it with alcohol and didn't have any problems)
Weathering was done only with artist's oil colors (several shades of sand and brown color)...

Max: No pigments at all I must say I've never got used to them... The dust on the sides is also done with sand artist's oils... I just stippled the sand with an old brush... After that I passed the area with flat soft brush to tone the effect down... I've put some patches of brown color to add variety... You stop when you are satisfied with result...

I love it! It looks so "busy," complex and plain old bad-a$$! Nice work.

Having just completed a full-resin kit, I know very well how much effort you must have put into this beast, and you have done a fantastic job here! By the way, in addition to your modeling skills, I love the subject matter!
