freddietello Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi guysThis is Hobby boss kit, I have always wanted to make a Merkava, since I saw the first tamiya kit back in the eighties. But it wasn't up to now that I decided to start one. I´m not quite happy with the kit but is the one I got so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow! Great job! I've done the Academy kit a couple of times. How'd you do the tracks?! They look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddietello Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks guys Richard- I splattered many rust colour acrylic paints with a toothbrush, then I made an earth pigments wash and finally I rubbed graphite dust on them, you can see some tutorials of alternatives here http://www.fcmodeltips.com/2012/11/cadenas-oxidadas-con-pigmentos-rusted.html http://www.fcmodeltips.com/2013/02/oxido-magico-magic-rust.html http://www.fcmodeltips.com/2013/07/lavados-de-oxido-rust-washes.html Mark- Yes, they have achieved a nice anti-slip surfaces but they lack of other details like positionable machine gun, 12,7 for the nose, chains enough to complete the ball courtain, etc. I haven't seen mneg's so I can't compare.
