I have to agree with my friend Dicky, it's a stunner. Great job on the rusting, madairbrush, I really love the effect  |

Thanks my friends. I hope to do some more weathering/ burning in the next days.
But I have not much workbench time...
A question to the weathering pro`s: Do you guys dust the burned areas, too?

@dicky: That sounds logical for me. I am not sure, which timescale I will use, maybe something between a few months and a half year. So you should see some dust on the burnt areas, isn`t it?

Thanks alot my friends.
I am looking for some iraqi symbols, which I can add on the turret. I think about adding some graffitti on the tank, too. But I am not sure. But it needs something, to make it more interesting, I think... 😳
Maybe one of you guys has some ideas for me... ? 😏

@chris: There are days or moments, I love this T-72 model very much. But than are moments, when I am not sure if it looks like the way I want it. On these days, I would like to change many details or at least rework some of them.
Till now I have no convincing idea for some details on the tank, like iraqi symbols or so. I am searching the internet very often for those pics, but it`s hard to find some good reference material.
But I am very pleased to see you guys like it.

Wow dude, that looks fantastic! For a guy who says he is not sure how to do things, it really looks like you know how to do things! Great job so far, and I love the scratch work in aluminium. Can't wait for the next installment! Cheers, Sam  |

Hi MSCers, time for a new update of the T-72. I added some more dust, rust, oil and ashes. I added some rust under the turret, where the impact hole is. The barrel on the side was to test the technique of making a tarp with a facial tissue. On this one I tried the painting and dusting, before I made the tarp on the tank. I want to add another bigger one, which should hang down from the storrage compartment of the turret in the next days. The base and 3 figures arrived today. So much work to do for the cold winter time...  5DMKII_19024 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_19043 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_19018 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_19050 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr  5DMKII_19057 von mad_airbrush auf Flickr I ordered some figures from evolution-minitures. Two U.S. Special Forces Operators and an afghan man. These figures are amazing. They are very highly detailed. I had many minitures in the past (from GW), but these little guys are fantastic!!! So I will go back painting by brush... ;D |

I think this model is beautifully done but I have some questions. I'm pretty sure that a lot of the stowage bins on the T-72 are made from aluminium, so there would be no rust on them, only iron and steel rust. I think the same applies for the wheels too, but could be wrong on that. All the nuts and bolts and latches are steel though.
The BMP is similar in construction, the stamped side mudguards are aluminium with steel fittings, the Ex-Iraqi one at Bovvington has lots of paint flaked off so you can see it easily.
Regards,
Bruce Crosby

Wow Matt, this looks fantastic! I reckon you have captured the look perfectly. Once you get those figures complete and in place, it will be a perfect little diorama! Well done mate!! Oh, and congrats on the little one! I have two of my own, and they are awesome! It's because of them I don't get anywhere near as much time at the desk as I'd like, but I wouldn't change a thing. I love being a dad! Cheers, Sam |
