Tank Mark IV Male

 

 

 

 

 

For some reason I can’t explain I enjoyed putting all the 3D printed parts in a box. 

Fitting the sponsons and track units 

This is really fun and the tank is big enough I can use real tools and not just hobby tools 

Lots of sanding and filing down scars where there were supports. 

Nearly complete assembling  

Starting with the unditching beam. I scribed wood grain in with a razor saw 

Preshading and tracks 

Zoey’s 1/64th scale (same as matchbox cars) mark iv test print 

Prototype photo showing weathering and tank name “Hypatia” 

Should I lighten the base green with dark yellow or deck tan? 

What green should I start with? 

Markings problem partly solved. I can use tank name Defiance leftover from my Matilda build 

Tamiya olive drab + flat white + dark yellow  

 

Weathering with oils, acrylics, you name it. 

 

Possibly done. Need to think about it. I was going to mud it up but I kind of like where it’s at
