Mark V Heavy Battle Tank - Takom 1/35

[brentprice]

I recently completed the Takom Mark V 3 in 1 Heavy Battle Tank kit in 1/35th scale and thought I would share the finished product. I used AK Interactive, MIG Ammo and Vallejo paints along with graphite and other powdered pigments.  The wooden boxes on the back of the tank were created using small strips of wood that I use in Modeling ships. The product realistic water was used to create the puddles and damp, wet effect. I did not try to create an accurate interpretation of a trench or the sand bags so a great deal of time was not spent on the wire, ground or trench debris, though next time I believe a more accurate base will be attempted. Thanks for viewing.

That's a very nice piece of work!  I'm still hoping someone with the skills will do the Mk.V "Berlin 1945"; that's the last time I know of one being in action.  However, there are three of them in rebel-held areas of the Ukraine so we can still hope...

Looks really good Brent! Nice work all around.

too much back light or not enough light. I would to see this in a well lit setting.
Maybe you could re-shoot to show off the finer details better.

Yes I will have access to a digital camera this weekend, so I will snap some better pictures.
