Thank you! And yes, the Leman Russ is a hybrid of WWI/WWII tanks like the Mk 1-V series of the first world war to more modern tanks with the upper main turret.

WOW... what a mega upload of an update mate! that flag is stunning... love the freehand...that aquilla is very convincing! love those thin lines you did for details...and i congratulate you to your fine work of sculpting the falg so that the turning of the turret isn´t hindered! that is a lot to do...man you are busy! one thing still on my mind... the flag needs a wash or two...otherwise this is freaking cool man and i hope you feel half as proud as i feel about you^^

cheers mate!

Thanks Vik, the whole tank needs a wash, but the mud always comes first! Then the washes. I guess my art abilities are not so buried as I thought.

definatly not burried^^ one could go as far as you should explore these far more often^^

Well, as you can see the retro-fitting and paint work is almost totally done(needs some more touch ups) and then mud and washes!

then mud and washes

sounds like a rude plan to me...^^ i like it^^

You know I now have all my "girls" filthy

oh man....puts the term love for tanks or treadlover in y whole new perspective^^

Well, tread-head is the main term, but well, we all like the tanks with some character, if they look like they sit in a show room all clean, then they seem a tad boring!

show room... like in a morot show... is that possible? like ...can i get that leopard in yellow with purple strpes instead of these ugly brown freckles all over... that como is so out of fashion this season....oh and i think i would like to have that parking assistant too...

Yeah, something like that.

Much better to have them set in camo, decals and then "dirty"

guess thats the way only slaanesh tanks would be painted anyways^^


so well thats for my banter yet again...whats with some refreshing and muddy updates of yours?^^

Have plenty to do, so not sure when the next update shall be, but stay tuned, same tank time, same tank channel!

i have long subscribed to that channel...i am literally hot wired to it^^ removing it would be like surgery

Well you know where to get your fix of oddball tanks being worked on by "yours truly!"

aye!

You know there will be more

Definately the best practice, camo, gloss coat, decals, another gloss coat, weathering, flat coat- in that order.

Layers and layers of stuff on my tanks nowadays. No clean fresh from the factory look for me!

so what about some at least fresh pics of yours?

Ah, just added DA Green to the vision blocks, have to snap and post,

mmmmkay^^ will be here for some minutes at least then i will be on the hunt for some styrene rods to make new rivets for the steamknights...

Yes Vik, go get the styrene! You need the styrene! Be ONE with the styrene.

lol...yeah i think i can feel a force pulling me atm to a rack full of rods of styrene...it is a natural feeling we all should succumb to...

LOL! I am also liking that idea

Now even his shades got the green, but the cannon vision block got greened on both turrets

[/img]

Even the cupola mini blocks got it.

always wondered what these small bits are for... now i see they are too some sort of sensor array? looking very good... but i realised now you need to touchup those barrels... some not wanted colors there... but i guess it is me forgetting cam perspective and scale yet again^^

Actually the green bits are like periscopes for the panzer.

ah... ok... i only can apreciate the look from tanks... i rather know next to nothing about tanks and this specally comes to surface in your thread here^^

More learning of the panzers my padawan!

*bows humbly* yes master!
