Merkava III
Merkava III with battle damage and anti-slip

This is a Revell Merkava MK.III. I got this one at a sale, and imidietly wanted to recrate an image I saw of a Merkava that was hit by an RPG that was defeated by the reactive armor, but made the two plates fall.
I'm back in this hobby after 15+ years, and was ammazed by some the things people do theses days in moddeling. I really took the time to do as many techniques as possible on this one. I used:
- home made antislip with sand (it's not in scale, I know)
- Battle damage
- Color madulation
- Oil filthers
- Pin shade using oils and enemals
- speckling (not in scale, first time I do this)
- Storage with epoxy putty
- Antenne from a Guitar string
- weathering with mud

This is the first time I'm using all of these things, I despite not successeeding on all fronts, I'm somewhat happy of the result. There is much room to improve:

- I've missed a couple of points to sand the seem lines
- I've not fuilled some gaps with putty
- Some decals were destroyed
- Storage with eopxy putty is completely shapeless
