Some time ago I was really inspired (as true Russian

) by idea of Soviet-American war clash presented in Red Alert series of games
Art like these was really imagination moving:

Lot of red, sickles , hammers, tesla
ended up making semi realistic Soviet Tesla Tank from real T-34 prototype:

Electric coils are fully charged!!!
Death to the capitalistic exploiters!

That is shocking! Almost electrifying!

What scale is that?

Another Red Alert fan! That looks astounding!

I really like the blue on the hoses. The green is very smooth. Did you use an air brush? Overall,

That is a brilliant model. Making it from a real tank gives it a lot of authenticity, and the fact that your additions blend so seamlessly only improves that. Can't really fault your painting either. Excellent work!

That's some freakin' fantastic plastic!

Looks sweet and it's nice to see military vehicles converted like this.

Thanks for comments

Idea was actually to do some realism in contrast to exaggerated forms of original game

Han, just fantastic. It is interesting how you managed to both do a good job weathering it while still maintaining a clean, almost animated look. It looks like it just drove out of a video game. Well done.

My only critisizm would be the brown areas, e.g. the tracks, wheels, and power plant. They lack deapth and contrast. You obviously put time into weathering them and alternating shades, but without any truly contrasting shades or highlights it comes across as fairly flat. I think a wash or edge highlight with graphite could really help them pop.

Amazing job overall though.
