Let the new project begin!
Added 2021-05-18 00:33:03 +0000 UTCMy friends, the next model will be a Syrian T-55 in 1/48 scale from Tamiya, because it felt like the best choice - a simple slammer build of a modern subject with loads of weathering possibilities. It's gonna have that rebar cage armor which I mentioned, and some other nice details as well 😊 I'm also gonna try a different approach to running gear. Instead of keeping the tracks and wheels separate, I glued them together as a removable sub-assembly. We'll see if it makes things easier!
Oh, and it's ridiculously small! Even that Crusader was probably longer!

Yes, and Tamiya makes this stuff so easy because they even put a small locating pin and a hole in the lower track and middle wheel, so you can line them up perfectly.
