Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share the project I recently finished, still have to add a base with a little bit of mud.

You can check the progress of this model here https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/211685&page=1










































Thanks to everyone who followed this project on the forums.

Cheers,
Guillem

Excellent build and finishing. The articulated suspension looks great!

Hello friends,

Thank you very much for your comments

Hi Guilllem, I watched the build on this - your effort on the suspension really paid off! Nice build all around
Cheers - Nick

Great work, Guillem!

Excellent painting and weathering ... and I like the dynamic breaking effect ;-)

cheers
Walter

brilliant work!

Outstanding work! The weathering is perfect, and the breaking action is spot on. The only "Hmm!" I have about it, is that the figures seems very relaxed during this emergency break action. Being an ex-tanker, I would really hold on to something in such a situation, remmember, a tank like this goes from 60+ km/h to 0 in under the lenght of the vehicle.
Still an awesome build, don't get me wrong

Thank you all for your comments,

As a matter of fact, the idea of the suspension came up just a couple of days before starting the project, just when I saw that photo of the real tank, I decided to give it a try

This build was also my first time using oil paints and turpentine, and I had a very good time with it, really easy to do since turpentine allows you to "erase" and start again without problems.

Jacob, thanks for your comment about the figures, truth is that at the end of the project I was kind of without spirits to finish them because I saw the tank finished and the figures took me too long, like if seeing the tank finished made me think it was all finished.

I am practically new in this military modeling world, been making civil models in the past and I am glad to learn little by little these details and techniques that make the military vehicles to be more and more realistic.

Happy holidays to everyone!

Cheers,
Guillem

Now thats cool right there....LUV IT!!! Great job fella.

I understand that the Type 90, like other tanks such as Strv 103 and MBT 70, has the ability to "kneel" so it's quite possible for the crew to be in a relaxed position. This image from Wikimedia Commons is an example of the kneeling as apposed to the emergency braking (note there isn't any gouges in the dirt or dirt spray. It's the image modeled by Guillem from his build log, which by the way is superb.
