My rendition of a M1 tank charging down the desert.

Not entirely accurate and also not too well done.

Total time committed is 156 hours with scratch build bed rolls and the orange canvas on the turret using wet tissue.

Enjoy folks.

Accurate or not, that looks amazing! Did you use expanding foam, for the dust cloud?

Hi.

Thanks for the comment.

No. I use cotton wool and spray with 10% desert yellow, 90% clear with paint to thinner ratio 60/40.

Very dynamic. I have not seen dust rendered this accurately before.
