      Construction of the Tank of Tanks

      She's a 3d print, but a good one.

       

      I'm a terrible painter who gets frustrated easily when it comes to what I believe the model should look like, and what I can actually achieve.

      I’m not a good painter either so I know how you feel.

       

      Looks like you’re halfway there though!

       

      With soemthing like this I’d do something like dark grey dry brush on the tracks and any other base colours I want, black wash, bit of a dry brush for any highlight colours or metallic erosion showing through, and throw on some weathering powder. That’s about all my skill level is up to, but usually gives a reasonable atmosphere.

       

      Anyway, all of what I just wrote should probably be ignored…

       

      I’m sure you’ll get it looking cracking!

      Ugh. It's getting there.

       

      I have the urge to douse it with nuln oil or reikland fleshshade.1000079431.thumb.jpg.bdaa25e3f78dde22dcb9cadd2bf41c3e.jpg

       

      a wash might be nice but I would do a recess shade, highlight, weather/ damage then wash it

      Looking good, is this epic or 3d print?

       

      Good choice of paint colour, it reminds me of the WD130-140ish vehicle releases along with the original vehicle paint set. I seem to remember that the patch at the front you have left white was for the squad/unit markings? Will you be adding any camo markings?

       

      I believe it was a 3d print of an Out of Print Forgeworld Cyclops demolition vehicle
