Thanks for the great comments fellas. Spud here are a couple of pics of the real tank from DS2   The motor comp. was mastered for Celtikwerks and the resin set used in this model. |

Thanks G and Spud.
Spud this was the first time I built a model to a pic and tried to keep it as accurate as possible. Took a half year to get this done.

This one was used to make the master for the Celticwerks motor comp.  Wow, it sounds odd to read it like that.  I always thought that copying the master for you would save you some work in the future, but I think you got it right. Being associated with this model put Celticwerks on the map! This model went on to win Gold and perfect scores (four judges scored it 10 out of a possible 10) at the AMPS Nationals in advanced.  Since then, using the same engine compartment kit (made from Rob's masters), Andy Taylor won a Gold at Euromilitaire in one of his fabulous T-55 projects. But my favorite memory of this model... when Rob posted the in prgress pics on Missing-Lynx and someone posted rather dismissively, "Nice model, but nothing would make a hole like that!" Rob attached the pictures of the real tank and said, "Model is based on real pictures. Here they are..." ;D ;D Love it! Steve |

Amazing Rob cant believe how real it looks have you tried putting a similiar background behind the t 55 and comparing your model to the real pic that would finish off i think?
