1/16 Tanks: New Stuff and some Repaints

Here's some of my 1/16 collection.

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lhamto/album?.dir=/746b

About the tanks:

1. T-34/85: Rc T-34 re-paint. The decals are dry transfers, which is a joy to use.

2. King Tiger 213: My old KT, being used right now for weathering experiments.

3. King Tiger 332: New RC KT, added some details on the turret, weathered with watercolors.

4. RC Sherman 105mm HVSS: I found this Sherman on a garage sale, extremely beat-up (missing roadwheels, cracked hull, no gun, etc). The owner said he got it in the 80s. For $20, I though it was a good fixer-upper project. Here's the result. Notice the lifting lugs on the mantlet and turret sides? Those came from 21st's Sherman. I also moved the RC antenna to the turret instead in the back of the hull.

5. Tiger I S02: My old RC Tiger, weathered heavily with watered pastels. Met its end 2 months ago at the hands of my niece. Total loss.

6. Tiger I S33: My new RC Tiger. Markings and camo was inspired by Tamiya's Masterwork S33. Weathered with watercolors. I didn't bother to put the light in the main gun because it looks silly.

7. T-34/76 1943: Weathered with four layers of pastels+watercolor. I thought the mix of paints made the weathering looks more realistic. I sold this just so I could buy another one. Go figure.

Googly,
when you first posted this, I could see the photos; very nice work. But like Harded sez; they are no longer accessable.

Goolgy, These tanks are fantastic!!!!! I've built a few 1/16th kits and I'm happy with the way they look, but your painting is far beyond anything I can do. Nice Work! Now if FOV comes out with a 1/16th figure line we'll have tank and ground support in the same scale.
I like 1/18th just as much as 1/16th scale

one you buy... one you build

Once again, Nice work.

Great modelling! It's very well done.

Excellent paint work and detail. I quite like the washes, especially on the 2 Tigers. The T 34's look very convincing.

Great job.

Good Stuff.

I like the T-34 because it's my 1:18 scale dream tank but the weathering on the Tiger is masterful. Well done all around.

How did you replace the missing wheels on the Sherman? I have been thinking about creating an E8 suspension for the BBI M4A3 105mm.

I just ordered the parts from TamiyaUSA.com, from their Parts Support System.
