Wow... very well done Iain! Thanks for sharing this build story with us. An excellent example of extreme weathering.

Best wishes,

Great Idea and really well executed. Good SBS too.

Also makes a nice change from all those wrecked T-55s we usually see in the forums

I was checking this out on the AK-Interactive website a short while ago and was quite impressed, a very inspiring piece to say the least. Thanks for sharing Iain!

Incredible! Very realistic. I love the way the paint is "eaten away"...very convincing! Thanks for posting!
