The only thing that would make this build better is if it was a dessert paint scheme, but not everyone likes what I do

I wanted to do pure Russian, but the dessert scheme is cool too.

Very nice !!!   It looks like a scale rainstorm would wash some of the grime off.

Please don't put it in a rainstorm !!!

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Nice work on the T-55. Monochrome schemes are always tough but yours has plenty of visual subtlety to draw the eye. Beer

Hi Mr. T,

Congratulations on a very convincing replica of the T55.

And as said before, nice job with the camera!

What make is the T55?

Is that AA gun the kit supplied one?

Effective dry-brushing and weathering. I like understated weathering that pops the details and doesn't hide them.

I like the use of weathering, just enough to make it not parade/factory fresh, but enough to bring out the details. Very well done sir.

MrT's T-55
Posted by MrT on Saturday, April 20, 2013 9:20 PM

I haven't posted here for a while so I thought I would let you know I'm still around.  I finished this T-55 awhile back.  What do you think? Comments are welcome.
