Excellent.

I am truly loving the tank, I keep hoping to see a very Hot and Sexy "Tank Girl" come hopping out!

You are clairvoyant. I plan to use a Raging Heroes Jailbird as the commander. Not with a skinhead but, in other respects, very tankgirl.

That’s brilliant! Glad you like the new bits. Loads more on the way...

[Vladimir Raukov]

Delightful!

You could have a full crew of Tank Girls!

I was thoroughly delighted by the tank and junk, and then I saw the scooter hanging off the back: that is the icing on the cake...

Thanks Andy. Tank is still on the work bench but I've finally finished a couple more of my Lady Scrappers' vehicles, along with some of the scrapper equipment.

Tank is probably up next, after the Butcher Shop I think. I need more weekends.

Wow! Two more beasts! Stunning! 

[uti long smile]

That’s fantastic!

[War Monkey]

Wow! Those are awesome!

That is brilliant, and full of options.

So what was the source vehicle and how did you do (the copious) rust?

Thanks UVS, two source vehicles are first one - PuppetsWar Ork Buggy and second one - VOID Junkers Desert Buggy with Old Crow resin turret. Trailer is scratch built. Rust technique is as described here and over the next few pages. Basically salt and hairspray.

Cool, thanks.

Hope you don't mind me asking but going back to your tutorial on applying the rust effects - do you start from bare plastic/metal when you apply your brown undercoat. E.g. if you were weathering a pre-painted diecast would you strip off the original paintjob to bare metal before starting the rust effect process or just give the existing paintjob a bit of a rubdown to key and then go from there? All the best, GDonk.
