Hey guys, I thought I'd share some pictures of my finished build, it's been sometime since I have really finished anything armor related.

Tamiya Type 90 1/35 scale, used tamiya paints and weathered with Vallejo pigments. The base is a 12 inch ceramic title, and I put down grey grout for the mud/gravel/dirt base, the trees are goldenrod plants and then dip in glue and tossed with model rail road ground covering. I can't take credit for these, my grand father made them for his HO scale layout.

I bought some AFV camo netting to use over the basket and turret and barrel, but when I tried to cut it from the backing, it just shreds and gets destroyed so that was $13.00 lesson.

Excellent work. I like your grandfather's method for the trees... I'll have to try that once spring comes around (if it ever does... Life in New England is very cold right now). Hopefully coating the plants in glue will prevent any sneezing and eye itching! The tank looks great, but the upper surfaces (especially on the turret) look a little bleached to me; this creates contrast with the comparatively vibrant scenery. Great work overall.
