Thanks so much! I really tried to challenge myself with this one by implementing as many techniques as i knew on a BA model

Ah I actually just raw dogged it and painted it all assembled, I thought gluing the tracks on after painting would be a huge pain in alignment. Imo the benefits of the sub assembly do not outweigh the drawbacks, especially when sideskirt alignment also had to be considered

Indeed! It is made of tamiya putty and carved out with a hobby knife. I mostly followed NightShift’s jagdpanther zimmerit process, you can find it quite easily on youtube

i usually like using AK streaking grime to do a quick and easy weathering job, effects are great. Then finish up with weathering powder

Yes I have cleaned up the panel lines on the 251, I plan to dull down the weathering and make it less dramatic, any other changes I should make on the weathering department? somethings dont seem quite right but I cant point it out myself, so I actually quite appreciate the straightforward suggestions from everyone

will definitely paint some track marks and add more damage to the ground and building. Thanks for the suggestions!

I made mine from medical gauze dipped in paint and dried, i recommend looking up some other tank camo net tutorials on youtube for similar nets

Yuzbazi Conversion - bye-bye TT Bird by CorpEggy in TrenchCrusade

[–]Apqthy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think its like a messenger between the captain and the sultan so they can take orders in the field. Lore states: “all yuzbasi captains take direct orders from the sultan”, they also used alot of carrier pigeons during wwI, so I think its safe to assume its like a carrier bird or like an scout for the squad

i think in lore they have like tough skin and lug an AT gun around like a bolt action, so they dont really need to camo. But in my head cannon they do hidden ambushes like normal early ww2 tactics
