I have finally finished my Tank Hunter .

Here are a few photos .

I love the worn look and all the stowage packs etc.One thing that niggles me is it looks off balance almost as if it would fall over when firing the massive gun.

I really like the detail and coloring of this - and I am not a fan of the realistic style but the detail you went into makes it look henominal.

As for shin's comment about - I have to agree. If that main gun is fired - the front end will easily lift up. If the vehicle is moving forward while firing - it will most likely roll onto its back....

Otherwise - very nice

I'm not trying to take anything away from Alfonso as i think he has done a fantastic job on the whole.

Great weathering and the thing looks like it means business!

Awesome detail, love the backpacks.

Awesome looking tank!

Just pretend the engines in the front to counterbalance

Also, amazing work!

Your weathering is superb. Great work on the rain streaking.

Love it!

That is the best weathering ive seen in a long time...this tank literally looks like it just finished a tour....unbeleivably realistic...I would love to see you create a tutorial about hoe you did this. Nothing short of spectacular!

Thanks every one for the support . I enjoy weathering tanks a lot and I hope it shows .

So this is the tank that inspired me to make the Tank Hunter .

Implausible design? Bah! That makes it feel all the more appropriate for 40k (as much as I prefer to maintain plausibility, personally). Besides, they probably pack the space under the overhang full of bodies before firing, anyway. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if the next source book mentions entire planetary populations leveed for the "Imperial Guard, Wheel Chock Division" (the time and effort required to genetically enhance and train the Adeptus Emergency Breakus rendered them inefficient, compared to disposable citizenry).

Design aside, it's a great build with absolutely amazing painting and weathering.

And how is it done! that's brilliant!

As far as weathering I use diluted paints and Chalk pastels . Not oil but Chalk pastels . The chalk pastels I use instead of pigments only as a cost savings . I get chalk pastels at my local art store for under $2.00 a stick . And they last a long time . Maybe I should do a tutorial on how I weather my tanks one of these days .
Thanks everyone !

Awesome paint and weathering.

Congratulations on that weathering mate. Really nice! And the painting!
