Merkava III (plastic)model
polycounter lvl 18
Hey
I thought I'd post this here anyway
It's plastic but I was working on similar issues as with digital 3D stuff, for example creating the texture.
I was making real rust for half a year and used it on the tracks. Also I used sand to add a dust layer to the model. It's not great, but it was fun to build and I'll make another one for sure
I'm sorry for the bad pictures, it's hard to get good ones. The model only looks good with a diffuse lighting and right now there is bright sun outside.

@Johny: Yes, I had a lot of trouble with some areas, parts fell off and I had to reglue them, then I had to repaint them and so on.
@IronHawk : Yes, I used sand and glued it on with a woodglue.
@Nogan : I'd like to do some themed dioramas. The next one I'll build is a tiger and then a sherman.
anyone got a link they use to shop at?

[/ QUOTE ]Not sure what glue you used but the best is liquid 'cement' applied with a small sable brush.
I was just looking at some of my old models, damn near 20 years old some of them. Fun times in 'zen' mode.
where can you find these nice models online?

I got my tiger here: http://www.moduni.de/
But they have a wide range of products to pick from. They are located in germany though, so I don't know if worth to buy models there.
@JesseMoody: I'd like to see one of your dioramas, can't wait until you post some pictures.

@kat: I don't know the name in english, but the glue I used melted the plastic parts together.
Looks awesome buddy, now you need to finish your 3d projects. Are you going to use this tank to protect all your cheese?
I'm gonna post it Hawken, but it's not good for textures since it's in a pot. It's rusted steel wool
