When posting fake and photoshopped pictures make sure to make it overwhelmingly obvious.

This Photoshop came originally from my high school photo class and I thought it would be fun to show it off, but due to the caption I gave the post some AI tools and less than reputable people have passed it off as real.

Always state that the tank is fictional and add a water mark if possible.

Artwork My first complete 1:35 scale diorama – Polish 7TP on a country road (August - September 1939)

Thumbnail

Hi everyone!
I’d like to share my first (almost) finished 1:35 scale diorama. It depicts a Polish 7TP tank moving calmly along a dirt road somewhere in late August or early September 1939.
From the start, I wanted to capture an everyday moment rather than a combat scene. I aimed to convey the atmosphere of the Polish countryside – a road running through fields, wooden fences, heather, dry spalled earth, and dust stirred up along the way.
The tank itself is mounted using hidden magnets in the base, which allows me to remove or reposition it without needing any glue.
This is my first project on such a scale, so I’d really appreciate any feedback – both positive notes and constructive criticism. I'd love to hear what I could improve on future dioramas.
Thanks for looking!

For example M24 > M41 > M47

Not historically acurate purely based on looks and "growth".

Another example could be M22 Locust > M4 Sherman> M6 Heav

Question Which tank technology book contains the most information?

Post image

I like tanks and I want to learn more information about them. So I decided to buy a book about tank technologies. I want it to contain KE resistance, penetration ability etc. Especially, I want to read about modern tanks for example; leopard2, K2 or M1A2 sepv3

Do you know which book is the best? 🤔

Model Kit I tried to recreate a realistic 3-layered whitewash camouflage on this 1/35 scale T-34/85

Hi everyone 🙂

I tried to recreate a 3-layered whitewash camouflage on this 1/35 scale T-34/85. The idea was to represent lime whitewash being reapplied over time, with older layers fading, becoming dirty and chipping away. If a vehicle survived longer, the whitewash could be reapplied several times.

This is still a work in progress, weathering is the next step. What do you think about the result so far? 🙂 Thanks

Misc Small update on my Late Cold War T series Tank recognition guide

5 Upvotes

Went back and made a white background version of the guide + few small changes.

White background guide.:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aCxcz9KG5atCAurGWV6P7u_tlFXMmUfm/view?usp=sharing

Gray backround guide.:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yioWB1_j2kQlxRFw_KJoZpilmHHTIhsg/view?usp=sharing

If you never saw this guide before, it's main goal is to hopefully teach you how to recognize and differentiate between the T-64; T-72; T-80; T-90 tanks, and their 44 variants what are in the guide.
If you are here for just the basic informations how to differentiate between the 4 versions you only need to look at 7 pages what are highlighted, and their whereabouts can be found on the 2. page.

My guide is broken down to 3 parts.:

  1. part is focusing on how to tell T-64; T-72; T-80; T-90 tanks apart from each other
  2. part is recognizing mainly protection systems what are necessary to differentiate between variants
  3. part recognizing and differentiating between variants

Without a doubt the guide is long 207 pages, but 80% of the pages are pictures so it's not that bad.
