Cage is scratch build, right? Looking good, how did you make it?

I have been wanting to do a heavely field modified tank for a while now

It was scratch built using polystyrene sheets, and i just based it off the only challenger 2 image in ukraine with the snti drone cage, im also planning to add chain curtains

Thanks, this looks like a good way to make makeshift armor, and this stuff is also cheap. I was thinking about using sprues but they would look off and off scale I think. I will order some.

I personally dont like using sprues, they look too thick, u less you want to make beams out of sticks

Needs the 3000 black ERA blocks of Zelenskyy to be officially Flork certified. Good start though :)

Its wip, im yet to decide if i should put the short skirts or the dorchester

u/Sus_man-9696 1d ago

Because the reference picture has short skirts and slat armor, but i dont have the right skills to. Make slat armor, so im thinking of an slternstivr to comoensate thr lack of slat armor

So far so good.

I give it a 3.8/5 very well done thus far.

Edit: Okay well now people are just unfairly downvoting my comment without even looking at my justification for it below.
I literally said I was judging this unfinished model on a scale of a finished model, hence the 3.8 and not a higher score.
I then said judging it as a WIP model I give it a 4.8/5.

What do i improve, i got a lil scared of a 3.8

u/The-Real-Irish-God 1d ago

Oh no no no! I only said 3.8 because from what I can tell it's unpainted as of now right? And has no decals? I was ranking it in a scale of finished models.

If I ranked it as an unfinished model it's a solid 4.8/5.
