What I'd really like to get is a non-military helicopter that I could paint as a news chopper, but 1/43 die-cast and kit ones are too expensive.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624491160014232874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-10327802987084625022022-04-26T07:10:43.325-04:002022-04-26T07:10:43.325-04:00Thanks, Jeff!

It's a great find, fairly compatible with 28mm figures too and totally usable. Much admit, I'd have daubed it all over in olive drab - not a fan of the desert colours, but hey you've got a cheap decent model table ready !

I think you really should look into some weathering techniques for the tank. That thing is pristine looking and would really look good with some chipped paint, dirt, and other weathering techniques like that. There are tons of videos on Youtube about how to achieve these things for model tanks that you can borrow from. If you've got some money burning a hole in your pocket, AK Interactive makes great stuff for weathering as well and I use some of their products myself. It may seem like a pain to put more time in the tank but I bet you'll find it well worth it in the end!Kuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-82987246107494118262022-04-22T15:22:45.810-04:002022-04-22T15:22:45.810-04:00Not a bad addition at all.

The tank looks great but maybe a little too clean for an apocalypse, would be tempted to use brown and black washes to dirty down the whole piece, but at the end of the day if your happy then it totally worksDave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.com
