Zod's command tank model

[General Zod]

I love them model! Great subject, and you've done a bang-up job.
The tracks look very good. I always have trouble painting tracks; therefore I hate you. 

Seriously though, great piece of work!!

Thanks RoterheadTX

Tracks aren't that hard to paint It's just a matter of finding a brown base paint for the metal part of the tracks

[General Zod]

It's a cracking model: well done!

What I like is that, although it's clearly an artifact of fantasy, you can tell that it was designed by somebody who both knows and loves tanks. In fact, I'd say their inspiration was a Char-2C, modified with AMX-30ish curves and details.

Thanks Weaver 

[General Zod]

Looks great! 

I've got one in the stash thats been waiting for me to decide exactly what I want to do with it.  It's such a cool model I'm half afraid to start it because if I screw it up I'll never forgive myself 

After seeing your models here,I think you'd do a great job on that kit 

[General Zod]

Great looking model!

Bet it smells a bit inside though....

Thanks AeroplaneDriver Doesn't smell too bad 

[General Zod]

Impressive!  I like the worn, war weary look & the slightly rusted tracks.

Thanks Mossie

They must be Russian speaking pigs, that thing has such a Soviet look. Very neat indeed. I like the way the paint looks. I noticed and appreciated how you didn't load every thing with mud to hide stuff! Looks great!

Thanks Gary

I used some of the MIG Pigment Russian earth on it I wanted a dirty look to it I have been getting better at using those pigments

Nice job on that kit.
I built mine last year and it was a great little build. I wish that it hadn't gone out of production.

I would like another!

Thanks my friend Wouldn't that be a neat model? I think a Bolo tank would have to be 1/87 or even smaller It would be a huge tank model

Back in April,at the AMPS model contest,I was able to buy the Tasca kit of the Akuyaku #1 kit It's in 1/72 scale From what I can gather,the model is based off of a Japanese children's  book The crew are pigs I did get crew pigs with the kit,but have not painted them I suck at figures 

From an occasional manga series by Hayao Miyazaki that appeared in Model Graphix.

The inner tracks are to improve cross-country mobility. It was a notion actually considered back in the early days
and the Flying Elephant was built with a pair of "belly" tracks.

Mon General:  Nice looking piggy tank...swine-ishly finished...I wonder if Tasca does a pig-boat as well..? That would be a an appropriate sea-squeal.... ..

In a way it reminds me of something Dumont might have speculated on...you know an "landship" from a future war.., In any event, your model is very well done..!

Cheers,
