Great build, Russell. Perfect weathering - subtle and not overdone.


Thank you sir!

OK, just looked like it would be an open topped monster. Cool if it is closed.

Looking forward to see more.

I too like the Weathering you've done there Russel. Not much of it but it looks great.

Base colors are done on my Leopard 2. Vallejo Russian Green for the hull, turret and wheels and a sandy beige color for the cage armor.

Thank you. I wanted a dusty but not "abused" look, thinking that, given the early '70s time period, this tank would have been very recently through the "conversion" process, and not beat up from a long service life.

Hello, I'm entering with Live Resin Secutor II robot. Tomorrow I'll post photos of it.

I'm planning to build it ina a fictitious war in Baltic region.
Do you think the 3-tone NATO camo is a good choice? or over-all green with a weathered winter camo?

Cheers
André

I completed the E-75 with recycled King Tiger turret. Any comments or critiques are welcome.

Shawn, looks great. I love the mix of the two camouflages. The tank itself looks pretty clean, but I guess that is intentional.

Great work!

Thanks Jesper!

You are right, the turret is more weathered than the hull. I wanted to make a contrast between the relatively new hull and the old veteran turret. Unfortunately not all of the details appear clearly in the pictures.

Shawn, looking closer at the pictures I can see the turret is more worn and faded in the paint work than the hull. Looks great.
