Very nice work, Piotrek. I like the detailing. The only comment i have are the tow hooks, they should sit lower, resting on the plate ( both front and rear). If you look here you can see better what I mean, also some other great pics. http://cs.finescale.com/FSMCS/forums/p/99485/975221.aspx

Very nice progression Piotrek. You may want to trace some of the edges with either a silver colored pencil or a soft lead. This will simulate some wear on the tank. One question, what did you use to make the grass?

I use Polak products: http://www.polakmodel.com/en/
Very nice grass to work with.
I use 3 colours:




And glue it with acryli resin I've bought in artshop. Much cheaper than Mig one. In fact for the same price I've got 1kg of it.

FINISHED!!

So my first work on armorama is finished:) Thanks guys for your attention and support.

The left mirror on the tank. I've lost it. I've been searching for it few hours and didn't find it. But I have not made new one. I'm sure I'll find it some day by accident while searching for something else

Enjoy!

Very nice work piotrek. I like how you did the mud. I just use stone effects out of a spray can.

Looks great, Puiotrek. The weathering is very realistic.

The only thing is the fit between the Leo and the base. The Leo seems to "float" on the dirt/gras. It would sink more to the ground in real life due to the weight of the tank.

Thanks for sharing
