Out of my element - Toon Tank! COMPLETE

[keavdog]

I've done a bit of armor in the past but those darn road wheels.... and the tracks. I sure do appreciate the builds though. So with the recent Hobby Lobby 40% deal I picked up a toon tank. Pretty fun. The plastic is strange, doesn't sand well. So I decided to just build it and experiment with some paint techniques. Here we are so far. I primed with Tamia red oxide primer. Next was ModelMaster OD. After that I shot ModelMaster faded Olive Drab. Nicked it up with a MIG aluminum pencil. More work to do - Flory wash coming and a couple filters. Really fun. The way I look at it I cant do anything wrong ...lol.







Welcom any suggestions from you armor guys!

Awww, it is cute! Not an arm our guy...you know rhe can’t be trusted, right? My 1.374 cents worth would be needs mud. Lotsa,lotsa mud. Oh, and

Needs more mud and rust as Lyle already pointed out.
They are cute. I do recall seeing ... believe it or not... resin aftermarket stuff for these Toon tanks. Just can't remember where. I'll definitely post the link when I find it. Kinda takes it for more accuracy on these Toon tanks.

When I first found it, I thought whaaaa? Are you kidding? LOL! Seriously, it was cool.

Okay with this little turd I tried a few things. Color filters, pigments, pencils etc. Fun little kit. She's up on the shelf and here she is

I like it! Way to go man!

Thanks all. I love Testors clear flat - it's dead flat, but this is the second or third time I've got the white specs. Maybe it's too old - I shook the heck out of the bottle before hand.

Try also soaking the can in hot/almost boiling water for about two to five minutes. That helps it to expand so its more atomized when it's sprayed. I usually never have any issues after that.
