CandaceStonestreet86 Posted August 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2021 I've had this 21st century toys figure for years and it sat on my shelve above my desk, I noticed how clean it looked and wonder how to make it look more realistic, so I took him outside and dragged him in the mud....sort of...... mainly just some natural color paints to make it look like battlefield grime Clean Tanker vs Dirty Tanker: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikie Posted August 15, 2021 Share #7 Posted August 15, 2021 That's just not realistic. How could a tank crewman possibly get dirty? Nice work. He looks much better looking worse. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted August 15, 2021 Share #8 Posted August 15, 2021 Ok you've had your fun - now wash those cloths. Kidding - I agree, much better looking now. It's like watching some of the old war movies. As much as I like "To Hell and Back", everybody looks like they spent the day before at the laundromat.

Major Z Posted August 16, 2021 Share #9 Posted August 16, 2021 Having been a tank platoon leader in South Korea, I assure you the dirty depiction is very accurate! It's amazing where dirt, oil, grease and general crud can get into on a Abrams tank. Very well done on your weathering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct! My company commander yelled at me once for not getting behind the return rollers. After that I remembered to, "wash behind the ears," so-to-speak.
