I don’t think I’ll wreck or rust her too much. I’m going to try a heavily weathered version, well used but well maintained. So far I’ve primed with Alclad black micro filler/primer. I haven’t used this in a while but have been impressed.

I haven’t posted on this in a while, but mixed up a blue-grey colour using Mr.Color paints. I “modulated” this a bit, painted the details and then started work with the oils. Still a ways to go but happy with progress so far :)

It's coming together nicely Adam :D

Don't go easy on the oil and grime, those old engines are nasty :lol:

From time to time some of those drive around town, you can feel them before you can hear them... :mrgreen:

I love it, now you only need a small base with a T-80 being towed :mrgreen:

Simply wonderful :D

Fun fact: Lanz was acquired by John Deere in 1956. So in a sense the descendants of this beast are hauling T-80s in Ukraine :lol:
