Roxolanian P-555 Sanktos Prokopios medium tank

To counter the Jazygian armored threat, the Roxolanian Armed Forces have come up with their own design. It is much more advanced and looks somewhat German-ish.

The T-53 'Otkroton Pejpub' MBT is Operational

After receiving an oil green paintjob and unit markings, the T-53 joins the Jazygian Armed Forces. It shall serve President-General Magnutörk's invasion army in the urbanized areas of Roxolania well. 

I also built a Russian-like AFV which the Roxolanian army will be using, and ordered an 1/35 scale IS-3 for Christmas which should belong to the Jazygian reserve.

The T.O.N.K. MBT for the Mordavian Army

The Mordavian army has been experimenting with building its own main battle tank. The super secret project was named T.O.N.K. After initial troubles, an armoured fighting vehicle has been completed. It has a 120mm cannon and a machine gun built in the turret, sloped front armor and gun mantle. It is operated by a crew of five. The only trouble is it's narrow and quite tall.

The T.O.N.K. is made of plastic bottle caps, a pen, a match box, a soap box and some sort of paper from the heap of scratch I have collected. It has been undercoated white, a base coat of VMC Buff, Revell Dark Green and VMA Burnt Umber/VMC Khaki added for camouflage, then an Umber wash and highlights/weathering. The tracks are painted with VGC Gunmetal.

By the way my painting table and shelves are sorted out (Spring cleaning much) and besides finding my long lost pocket knife and a bottle of Sepia wash it is more orderly now.

A gift from my little brother

Well this week has been more talking (writing in our case) than painting. I promise next week I'll change that. In the meantime, lookie what my little bro bought me: the limber for the 1/32 Gribeauval cannon. Saw this last time I was at the flea market but didn't bother buying as it missed three horses and the two gunners riding them. He, however, made a bargain so that I could expand my collection. It still looks great, especially together with the gun. Once I'll have a prestigious office these two will most certainly be displayed on the table.
