Robbie's Cutomized M-10

Post by pickelhaube » Mon Oct 19, 2009 5:30 pm

My buddy Robbie did a huge favor and painted one of my M-10's for me. Here is the result. I think he went above and beyond the call of duty.

It will be the paint master. As far as I know he laid down the base coat with a rattel can and did all the weathering and filters by hand. Of course he is a profesional artist. :D

Decal's are from Jackson. :wink:

The .50 cal broke off in shipping. :x

Alas this is heading for e-bay

Wow, that looks sweat. The overall look reminds me of an Outdoor museum, piece. Out side the local national guard arsenal we had a vietnam era piece of armor, out-front that we could clime in as kids, the original olive drab paint had faded to a similar effect.

A great job. The paint does look like it was standing in the weather for 20 years at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

If the tank was to be a active area combat vehicle please keep in mind that combat vehicles were painted every year, combat or not. Maint units would spray paint vehicles in an assembly line fashion, just behind the front line and if the crew was too lazy to remove personal items, everything tied on the vehicles was painted also.

Rust was not allowed to collect to the extent of this excellent model.

I decided to keep this.

The weathering is alittle heavy but the way he painted it , it looks like real metal.

Everybody I show it too taps on it and says " oh I thought it was made out of metal "

Once in my hands and keeping it for a few days I could not part with it.

I also have a Wirnlewild that the Hun painted up for me a wile back.

These are the only 2 of my kits that I have as full builds.

Maybe some day I will have a chance to build one of each of my kits to have for myself :?
