Leman Russ Battle Tank

Changing gears a bit here, this is a Games Workshop Leman Russ Battle tank that I painted. Photos were taken with my phone, a Motorola Droid 4, using its Macro setting.

The object was to paint it to look like a 1000 year old tank. The base coat was airbrushed Tamiya Panzer Grey, the first wash layer was airbrushed Citadel Agrax Earthshade.  The rest was done with Citadel paints, an oil wash, and Vallejo pigment powders, topped by a layer of Testor's Dullcote.  There is a bit left to do, such as adding rain streaks as well as building up the earth shades on the tracks.  But for now, this is what I got, Enjoy...

Stealing this from Billy Bragg.  His songs have always summed up how I feel.  So all credit to Mr. Bragg.

'Most important decisions in life

Are made between two people in bed

I found that out at my expense

And when i see you

You just turn around and walk away like we never met

Oh we used to be so brave

I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill

I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still'
