Hi everyone

Here's my rendition of Tamiya's T-55 Enigma. The toy like add on armor on the sides is replaced by the excellent set from Add On Parts. They just click in place and have all the details you need.

Painting was done with acrylics and weathering with AK products.
The concrete barriers are also from Add On Parts and cause they are made out of plaster they can be damaged anyway you want.

Feel free to comment!

Best regards

Kristof

Hey K,

Well what shall I say!
Your Enigma looks awesome. I'm really want to see in real.
Very realistic weathering; the best model you built until now, what do you think yourself?

It must be gold in Euromilitaire next month.

Cheers

Kristof

..How can I say? Stunning? Inspiring? beautifull?.......I'm spechless...

Hi Kristoff

Gorgeous rendition of the Enigma mate , stunning weathering , Add on parts are coming out with some really nice stuff, the welds look much better than the standard kit part and they are not so uniform in appearance.

see you soon

Brian

Hi mate,

These new blocks from Add On Parts are simply stunning.
Easy to clean up , takes only 10 minutes and they click in place.

See you soon !

Cheers

Kristof

You have made a very atractive T55 Kristof.what I specialy like is the heavy contrast and the light sand colour you have used.Will you ad a few figures to the base?This would make the scene even more atractive!!

Cheers,

Roger

Hi Roger,

Thank you very much !

There will be no figures included with this one. My focus here was only on the model.

Cheers

Kristof

Insanely awesome, such an inspiration!

Thanks you for the kind words.

I'm gladd you liked it. It doesn't happen everyday that a Imperial Guard likes my model !

Cheers

Kristof

Well you are kinda my boss!

Honestly mate, this is stunning!

Very nice indeed, the weathering is first rate.

I was planning to get some AK Interactive stuff, think you've convinced me now!

Well done.

Thanks Jim.

The AK Interactive products are really worth buying. They actually work and are worth every penny.

Cheers

Kristof

Gives me an idea for a display base for my 1/72 one now!

Quite possibly one of the best weathered models I have seen, my stuff is going in the bin

She`s an absolute beauty, Kristof. The weathering is just breathtaking. I love the angles on the ground work as well.

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you very much.
About the Flemish Masters , keep your eyes open...there's something coming .

Cheers

Kristof

Hi Kristof,

What a nice weathering, really nicely done.
Everything is beautiful in proportion, I think your best model so far.
Good luck for Euromilitaire.

Cheers,
André

Thanks mate,

I'm gladd you liked it !

Cheers

Kristof

Hi Kristof!

You have made great work with this, paintwork and weathering are superb!! Those Add on parts look really good, it seems they are correct also, I mean those openings for tow shackles on upper nose frontal armour. Are those side blocks separate or one block casting?

Anyway, splendid model!!

Cheers,
Jari

Hi Jari,

Thanks very much.

Those blocks are correct to my references. Each block is separate and made to replace the Tamiya ones.
Detail is amazing , cleaning up is a walk in the park and the fit is like Lego.

Impressive paint job mate! Very nice details and also a great base!
Congrats!

Excellent work, Kristof! One of the best T-55s I have seen, if not the best.

Thanks very much mate,

These words from you mean a lot to me!

Cheers

Kristof

Hi Kristof.

Excellent! Superb! The whole piece speaks to me.

Cracking paintwork Kristof!
Just cracking!

Thanks David,

Those kind words from you mean a lot to me. Thanks very much.

Hi Kristof

I love the dramatic contrast in the finish. It's realistic and artistic at the same time! The bast also is a perfect match for the model.

Best regards

Alex
