M60 in desert landscape

Armor/AFV Dioramas
1

Hello, my first model after 35-40 years of not doing anything in model building. It is a Tamiya M60 in a desert landscape, wheathering was done with AK. The base was made of a piece of styrofooam, covered with toiletpaper soaked in PVA. I also used AK sandy desert, and the rocks are little pieces of stone from my backgarden. I know the IDF never used this version, but I wanted to wheather the tank as if it had been used in the desert area for a while. Probably went over the top a little with the wheathering, but I sure did like doing it…
