M26A1 Pershing
Ron Puttee
The vehicle was modelled from the Dragon kit 6801 basically out of the box, as a B. Co., 1 Marine Div. Pershing near Ham-hung, Korea 1950. While not based off a specific photo they were studied for appearance and weathering.
Paint was a mixture of Tamiya green acrylics. Mud was added with the airbrush and pastels while the snow is baking soda.
