Looks great, especially since Tauro kits are not known for their buildability.

Thanks folks.  :icon_fsm:

Latverian flags and a Doctor Doom crest/shield to come.

Very nice Jon (and the Latverian flag should look suitably menacing). On to Symkaria!

So, Latverian Armoured Corps = Latver Páncélos Hadtest ?? (Where's Litvak when we need her?)

The tank will be marked with Latverian crosses, a rework of a Latverian flag .svg from Wikipedia.
No, they aren't in the comics, I made it up.

Home-printed decals fought me, other side is silvered, seems I didn't get it 'glossy' enough
first time around for this particular brand. >:(
I may go back and add more weathering/wash because getting the thing even enough to
sort of work for the decals kinda washed out the chalks.
So it goes.

You'll probably laugh at this Jon, but my favorite part is the exhaust. I think you captured the look perfectly!

The machine guns are quite well done too.

What a magnificent masterpiece!

I like it too, it's a beauty, it's a pity the decals came out too dark (I guess they are)...

That's very cool Jon! Glad to see you get such a nice result from the *AHEM* "challenging" Tauro A7V kit!

Hmmm.... Now this has me pondering a Bordurian T34/85 or something like that.  :smiley:

Printed on clear decal film, so the green paint darkened them, also printed some on white
decal film, however cutting out the curved part didn't work very well, even with a swivel
knife as the backing paper is tough, and thick.

I've decided I'm going to add another decal over the existing ones, or maybe go back to my
original idea and mount the decals on 'plates' bolted to the sides.
Shoulda kept to that idea.  >:(  :icon_fsm:

I like the subtle metallic sheen on the surfaces and on the bolts- not sure if it was intentional. Great build, even more impressive considering it's a Tauro kit.

Yup, used SNJ aluminum polishing powder carefully applied.
I prefer it to drybrushing with white/light grey. Shake the
bottle and touch a nitrile gloved finger to the bit that's inside
the lid and rub on highspots. Use a wide, semi-soft brush to
even out/disperse any that gets on places where it's not
wanted. Requires a clear coat otherwise you can't pick it up.

Excellent! It makes it seem like the paint is thin or worn off the flat surfaces. I've only achieved that effect by accident.
