The ERA bricks were an experiment for me. Rather than use balsa, or clay as I have recently, I tried the Pegasus Hobbies diorama bricks. Despite picking out the "small" sized set, they are still too large so I had to trim each one to a roughly correct size which led to shattering of several, and a somewhat uneven look. You decide.
On the other hand, I am very happy with the paint scheme Its just Apple Barrel Khaki, with shapes in Chocolate, a black wash, and a drybrush of khaki again. Now that I have thoroughly bored you, I will show the pictures!

nice work Ben, I am never sick of tanks, though putting them together can get tedious, I like looking at them in action and being intimidating. :-D
ReplyDeleteI even found a book in the stores called the tank spotters guide... though I think that if you lived in an area where you could tick off multiple tanks off the list you should probably consider moving.
Thanks Gowan! I have forgotten what my book is called, but a mix of that and Wikipedia usually tell me all I need to know. On another note, I have had only a few encounters with the real thing, which could be a good thing or bad!
Deletegood job Ben ;)
