TongDe M60 "RISE" in USMC pre "Desert Storm" paint theme.

Tamiya Leopard 1 early Belgian BE1 after first refit.
It took a used 1970s clutch drive chassis and a NIB 1980s motorized kit and a Perfect Scale brand Round turret kit some ED parts I had JVM make along with insane amount of work to build this model over a year and a a half. Still need to build the spotlight.

Seeing it with paint on really brings home the final look. 👍👍👍

First official photo shoot of my newest TongDe USMC M60 "RISE" in pre "Desert Storm" paint scheme. This tank is not stock, it has a number of cosmetic enhancements and changes to its mechanical workings.

Tongde M60A3, I did not care for the woodland camo it came with so I repainted.

Managed to get some outdoor photos of my two Tigers.

TongDe USMC M60 pre "Desert Storm" theme. Not quite done yet but close enough to post a photo. This tank is not stock and has a number of aftermarket cosmetic and mechanical upgrades.

It’s a Tamiya Leopard 2A6 that’s been backdated to a 2A4 in early Singaporean Army service by using a Ludwig styrene conversion kit. As it was meant for a Heng Long Leopard 2A6, it was quite a bit more complicated and took a few years (yes I have a day job) to complete

Yeah day jobs just get in the way...

Excellent work sir! Welcome to the forum.

Thank you. It’s a very impressive piece. My Challenger took over two years to complete. But then we did build a house. Sometimes work and life just get in the way.

Well. That’s an impressive introduction. cleong, could you give more details?

Heng Long T72 "modernized" on "Pro Series" tank combat course.

I added 2 links per side total. Looks the part but they are sooooo looose.

That look about how mine sit.
And I have been known to run mine hard, And it’s only de-tracked once. And that was my own fault.

[MrChef]

Mr C. I think you need a couple more link in the tracks. The track when correct should just touch the second road wheel, as shown on the box in the last picture.

Thanks for the kind words sir.

Yes I agree it's not sitting properly. See my post on the other forum where Herr Dr. is questioning his vision and Mick can't agree on tank genders.

But yes, I did add another link that's what you see there. Before I added the extra link it looked like some current gen teen in skinny jeans. It's not the same as the Taigen in the background. I had added 2 links and the tracks sagged like an old lady's,,,,, ahem. Well I'll solve it. I was thinking of stiffer springs on the first and second wheels. I had already drilled new spring holes and reclocked them. Tiger 822 is on plastic tracks now. When you see the first pic above on the metal tracks it looks much more proper.

MrChef,

It is clear you can cook up much more than consumables.


Best, LB

I can vouch for his food and recipes as well.

[MrChef]

Wow, that is one well used tank. Nice Job!

Thanks Scott. Yes this time I decided to do some Serious weathering. And since she's a runner and will be used in snow and mud I refrained from use of pigments.

MrChef,

Your work is what my 'mind's eye' would see, though getting there would be one tall mountain.

Bravo Zulu, Sir,

Best, LB

Thank you, thank you LB. I keep practicing and learning with each new project.

Here is what she looked like back in October before I started and what she looks like now in comparison-
