Soviet T-55 with BTU-55

Post by MarkVerploeg »

so here it is,the final reveal on my entry in the cold war group build
it resembles a T-55 with BTU-55 dozer blade in service with the East German army during winter

if you would like to know about the materials used just check out the build threat as i made a run down on the base build
so this is my share of the action
hope you like it and until next time
Cheers Mark

Great work Mark, that looks really good!! Love the snow and snow effects on the tank itself and the way you have photographed it gives it a real atmospheric feel. Nice one!! :th: :th:
