Hello Bralliescaler,

a old model from me will be see in few days the finish line.

Base kit is T-55 from trumpeter, Armory Turret, RB Barrel and some small homemade details.

Hope you like it.I think the tank gets an African style






Now with color basecoat




Washing and drybrushing. Decals on it. Not perfect pics, sorry, make with smartphone.





Cheers,

Alex

I liked the preshading and the variety and depth of the green color. Good job.

P.S. African style = green????

No clue about modern armor.I thought African style would be something like sand color.

P.A.

Really nice work Woschti, I especially like the weathering/dusting effects and the dio base is fantastic! Where in Africa is this going to depict?

Alex, I must admit I thought this was going to get like some zebra stripes or something...

I like what you've done with the base, a nice variety of plants and lumpy, rocky ground. Also appreciate the low angle photography, really getting you in there on the scene - great for such a small model.
