Hey guys, I was wondering if some items would be ok to put on a fantasy T-90. Upside down water-bottles on the radio antennae, coolers, Russian MRE boxes, water crates/boxes, more smoke discharges, more reactive armor. And of course a non-slip coating. I am going to try and log most of my progress. I will have a sketch posted tomorrow (thank you free period). I plan on having a tall grass area where the T-90 has smashed through a wooden fence. Maybe a tree or two and a Communist poster. I am thinking a heavy coat of mud and dirt on the T-90 in an overall green color. What colors are the view ports? And how do I go about painting those? I purchased a slew of the MiniArm resin upgrades, 2009 turret, wheels, lower hull set, and the Voyager models PE. Any tips?

Sketch completed will post a photo when home. Tomorrow I will most likely have a 3d rendering. Parts shipping soon. Any tips for working with resin?

Sounds great. I am really looking forward to seeing the pics. Not enough projects like this.
Thanks

Could be cool. Lots of nice T-90 builds lately.

Sounds like a great plan. Personally I love "What If?" projects. I'm working on a dio with an IT-1 in a WWIII scenario right now. I look forward to the sketch and build pics!

It should look something like this. Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'm thinking when the tank goes through the fence it pulls some down, or would it just snap the pieces of where it goes through?

It would, at the very least, move some of the boards because of the horizontal supports.

That's what I thought. Thank you! Any idea what the posts should be made out of? I was thinking balsa-wood or popsicle sticks.

I think Hobby Lobby sells sorted sizes of balsa for your posts and beams. Popsicle sticks would work for the actual boards.

I should have the rendering done by Monday-Wednesday of next week, Had to re-do the fence. Not going to render the tank only the fence and its damage.

Question. Is there such thing as a KMT-8? Or could a KMT-7 pass on a 2012(15) T-90? Any ideas as to what it could look like?

Update: Decals, upgrades, and some parts have come. Miniarm T-90 turret came, guess what's in the box? A T-62 turret ! Going to have to get this sorted out and return/re-order.

Score one for the enemy! Sorry to hear that Nick. I assume you were looking forward to building it during the holidays.

I was. The stuff from hobby link probably wont be here , Was going to spend every hour of this week I have off from school working on it. Now I wont be able to build the turret while wating for the Model itself and voyager pe to arrive, cest la vile. May build MENG's 4x4 or trump's M1117.

UPDATE: Everything is here except for the lower hull set from Mini Arm and the replacement turret from them. Going to build as much as I can. Unfortunately I cannot start the anti-slip until the kits arrive as I do not know what parts they replace. Ended up not getting the wheels, should I? Are there any good reference books out yet? Will post photos later

curent progress after about 8-10 hours. So many of those little clasps, thanks voyager model /

More progress decided to include a BMP-3 in this dio. Whats the newest version and who makes the best kit of that version? Going to include a slew of Voyager Models pe upgrades and more accessories/stowage to be ordered.

The Trump BMP-3E depicts the newest version.



Erik

Sweet. Thank you! Will reactive armor fit on that from voyagers kit?

The "E" doesn't have the ERA present on the "M" model.


Erik

Ok. I want to put some reactive armor on as these are fantasy/what if tanks. Would it be possible? Thank you for your help.

Update!!!!
No more work for now, building another kit as I'm still waiting for parts.
GRAVE NEWS!!! My 2009 miniarm turret is not being made right now and manufacturer does not know when he will re-make cannot find it anywhere online in-stock! Looking for it and their upper hull set. Please let me know if you have both or one or know where i can get both or one right away!

Take a break from pressing wild flowers and shaving your legs.

Yea yea yea. Going to pick up steam soon, have most of the kits, still wating on that damn turret. Have a M1117 Guardian commision in my way first. Going to add Miniarm's T-72 Rogatka to the mess. Going to be one kick ass T-90

I look forward to seeing it. Can't wait.
Thanks
