3D Printed 1/76 Churchill Gun Carrier Mk. 1

The Churchill Gun Carrier...

A vehicle that was historically built out of desperation, and will always be known to me as the "Hot Box". A moving pillbox bringing the HEAT!

To start with this model, I Painted the whole thing a shade of english ivy green, before painting the tracks and tow cables black. I then did a multitude of accents, like steel on the hooks covering the model, and bright red for the jerrycans(Not historically accurate, but it adds a bit more color)

To weather the model, I first applied a coat of mud to the bottom layers of the tracks and wheels, by using thinned brown paint. I then applied a bit of silver here and there to improve the details.

By far the coolest part was the scratches and stains done with a sponge. I lightly dabbed brown, white, and tan paint all over, which overall greatly improved the tone of the model and made it way more gritty.

Overall, I think it turned out really well. All of the colors went together well, and the weathering brought it to another level! Its such an funny vehicle to look at, but at the same time is oddly imposing. The Gun Carrier is a nice piece for any desk!
