Hello, all!
As way of saying "hello" here, I'm posting my first build here that I just completed--the VK4502 from Trumpeter. I just finished it up, and used a lot of the techniques that I learned down at AMPS, Atlanta this past year.
The tank had Squadron putty zimmerit applied, and was built basically OOB beside that, and a few small details added, but not of he tank itself. This kit comes with an interior, and it was a nice touch, for what you can see of it even with the hatches left wide open. I painted it with Tamiya paint, and weathered it with Adam Wilder's new "Gunpowder" line of pigments, washes, filters and other neat effects. My concept on it was that the Vorne hull sat, rusting in the yards until being hauled out of "retirement", given a quick coat of zimmerit, and adorned with an older turret from a refurbished tank--thus the rationale behind the two different colors. The hull was given a quick coat of DY and camo, and the tank prepared for its final battle. Kind of an "apocalyptic vision". lol. I hope you get that from looking at the photos.
Thanks for stopping by and saying "hello"!
Here's the interior shots before I closed it up.
And the finished build:
I hope that you enjoyed the pics, and that it gives you some ideas for your own Vorne!
