Okay, so following on from earlier builds, two MBTS. The hulls are again cheap plastic walkie-talkie toys from a magazine. Hatches and pintal mount are Brigade. The fan at the back is a wheel cut off Thomas the Tank engine… I'm a very bad man (its okay it was off an already broken cheap plastic Thomas again from a magazine). Naked shot so you can see what they're made of!

And primed (my first attempt at using an airbrush ever…)

Nice.
Somehow remind me of Maus. |

Some plastics don't take spray painting well.
Should only take a couple of coats, if tacky your using the wrong paint.
Hope this helps. |

@JMcCarroll
The issue of plastic-type struck me later – particularly for the turrets. But the paint seemed to behave the same on them and a metal mini I also undercoated. |

And done…
Possibly could have done with more surface detailing, but life is short and my lead mountain quite large…. |

Wow. Nice build! I need to find some Walkie talkie toys! |
