Administrators James H Posted July 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2013 SHIT! That is fantastic. Who would have thought that a wreck would look so cool? Loving that one David. Looks like I might have to take a look at that issue, being an Air Modeller subscriber only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Superb, I'm guessing that last one is the actual tank, it's a very good model and well done! I am guessing the last picture is also of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Beautiful Dave! What did you use for the ground work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 No they're different. You have to really look, though (around the mantlet the rust spotting is different...grass clumps on the tracks are smaller IRL vs. the build). Overall, that's just a staggering effort. I stand corrected. Wonderful and inspiring work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 What a horrible fate for something that belongs in a museum. Hindsight's always 20-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindsayT Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I know superlatives fly fast and loose on forums, but I can say without hesitation that your tank is the most realistic representation I've ever seen. Just incredible! Bravo! Lindsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afvmodeller Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks for all the nice words everyone, the last picture IS the real vehicle as a comparison, much as I would love to take the credit for it The grass is Sisa Moss but there will be a detailed explanation in the article as its a bit complex to describe here! regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_ Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's a beauty! The quality of the groundwork really does compliment the realism achieved with the tank... Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scanlon Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This is so realistic looking, I was stumped as to model or real, well done, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
