Much to the anoyence of Malcom I started this "ground target build" Academy Maghach of the IDF during the 80's. It is basically a very up armours and armed M-60 Patton MBT but also uses the Merkava trive train.

You need to make it realistic by burning some holes through the turret to represent a hit or two from some Egyptian APFSDS or HEAT rounds |

Neewat. these were tough tanks and in the Negev they moced to fast to be hit Starting to look like a modern MBT now....there are a load of little things onto this model! IMG_20190906_130840 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr IMG_20190906_130742 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr |

Primer on, then base black for shading effect. I now need to find a match for the Israeli sand grey in Tamiya acrylic I got primer on and then a black basecoat over all , this will be lightened in some areas to give "shade" effect when the colour goes on.

As an experiment I looked at Humbrol yellow sand but was to "yellow to me" so I tried Tamiya 74 enamels. Here is the base with the highlights on it IMG_20190913_141724 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr Then I sht the tamiya over it in thin coats till I got an even look with shadows just showing through, the sides and bottom O added a drop of black to look like it is bleached a little less. This is an interesting colour indeed, in bright sun it looks very grey IMG_20190913_144230 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr IMG_20190913_144257 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr But indoors where it will be viewed mostly the clopor changes to a more tan. IMG_20190913_171529 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr IMG_20190913_171553 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr The pre shadows worked rather well arround areas like the round hatches ect. T |

Looking at loads of magach pix I tried my had at doing the dust weathering using a mix of different chalk pastles and the "wear surface" I used a graphite pencle to look like bare steel. The tracks I had to tie together with cotton thread as only one set of the pins reached the holes but kept comming off, lucky the sideskirts will hide this IMG_20190915_144505 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr IMG_20190915_150204 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr IMG_20190915_150253 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr This dust is as close to the Sainai as I can match from pix T |

Done. first time I tried "black basing" for shadows. The dust is pastel powder. Painted to represent IDF Magach 7 in the early 80's Lebanon war Academy 1/35 Magach 7 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr Academy 1/35 Magach 7 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr The metal look of the tracs was added with grapite, silver paint seems to be to "silver" Academy 1/35 Magach 7 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr Academy 1/35 Magach 7 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr I also played with making a "filter" with water colour to alter the paint look on the front section of the sideskirt wthout being to much Academy 1/35 Magach 7 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr Academy 1/35 Magach 7 by Theunis van Vuuren, on Flickr |
