The old Tamiya Chally 1 with the Accurate Armour dozer blade added. Apart from the dozer blade, the tank was pretty much built OOB with the exception of the amber beacon, for which I used a 3mm orange LED. Painted with Tamiya acylics.

Excellent work, what did you use to get that brillient mud effect?

Mainly Mig weathering powders and pastels.
Thanks for the kind comment

Nicely done. Great build. Lovely weathering.

Alas, yes and that's a great shame as it is a great looking build. Hang your head in shame PB

OK, files transferred to Flickr and photos now restored.

Cool! I really like the raw steel effect on the blade. Very nice touch.

You did a real nice job with the thermal wrapping on the barrel too. Any tips?

Excellent build and weathering

Thanks, guys.
The thermal sleeve was simply painted as per the instructions and given a dark oil wash to pick out the details and folds.

I really like that, Paddy. Lots of subtle shading on the overall colour, and of course the weathering on the tank and dozer blade look great.
