Finished this one in the middle of the night just before C4-Open in Malmoe, Sweden. I managed to shrink the vinyl tracks with a hair drier while drying the weathering pigments. So I had no choice but to throw together some link by link tracks from AFV-Club I had lying around. That was fun… 🙂
Weathered extensively with AK-Interactive stuff and the snow is Tamiya Powdered Snow. For a final effect I painted on a lot of AK-Interactives wet effect for creating that slouchy and icy appearance.
I know that the pictures might look a bit hard, but I actually decreased the contrast a lot to make it more life like. So the contrast under the right lightning is quite extreme on this model 🙂
Also notice how the tank is front heavy!
Hope you like it!
Hi my name is Andreas Grewin and I work as an Interactive Art Director in Stockholm, Sweden. This site represents one of my interest during my past time. With this site I really want to show the world and the people around me what a amazing and creative hobby this is.
I am very impressed with this work. I was the Bn Maintenance Officer for 3Bn 34 Armor in Erlangen FRG 1985. We had Craton Abrams’ Cobra King in our motor pool; a left over from when our Battalion was flagged as 2Bn 37 Armor. My maintenance chief ensured that the Cobra King was in running condition minus the starting magneto (so it had to be dragged to start) and I rode on it to it’s static display position at the Bn flagpole. I later commanded Company C (Cobra Company) and my M60A3 was also named Cobra King. 3d BN has since been retired; sometime after 1987.
