Hi all, this is my first post in this forum, i want to show my last model of my favourite tank, an afghan T55 abandoned somewhere in afghanistan, Tamiya kit with some improvements, painted with humbrol enamels and wheathering with AK enamels and oils, a bit of pigments and a lot of dry-brush to simulate the rusty armor

Hi Fabrizio

absolutely fabulous !
great work !

That is very very good mate.

Very nice job, good color scheme.

A beautiful piece of painting and weathering work.

I would be interested in more info on the drybrush approach you used to get the rusty areas...did you stipple the drybrush?

Marc

Thanks again to everyone, I'm glad you like it

@Marc The drybrush was applied in the classic way without stipple with a mix of Brown bess 170 and a bit of leather 62 Humbrol over larger areas that were previously airbrushed with Humbrol brown bess 170. Unfortunately I have no photos of these steps I'm sorry

great work. absolutely capable of render the real tank in is real enviroment

awesome work.
But i think the T 55 needs a base

My dear friend!

Great to se eone of your new works again. This is maybe one of your best works, very ultra realistic, great effects, and perfect dust!
What I miss is different shades of greens for the different components, like the Mantlet, some hatches...

It can bring up life to your model.

But in general is a great paintwork

Un mio omonimo... che bello! Il carro l'ho già visto sul blog di Mig, che dire..... stupendo. La tua tecnica costruttiva e pittorica mi piace molto e non vedo l'ora di vedere altri tuoi lavori!
Complimenti ancora!

One of my namesake ... how nice! I've already seen the wagon Blog Mig, what about ..... beautiful. Your painting and construction technique I like very much and I look forward to seeing your other work!
Congratulations again!

thanks again to all, Mig you're right, I should work more with oils, I will keep him in mind for the next models!

Thanks to you too Fabri8873!
