Global Scale Modeller

Its only £25 from Lucky Model, goes to £38 with P&P.

Looking good mate.

Great build so far man!! Can't wait to say more.

My only question is are you going to put an anti-slip surface on this tank?

Yes I certainly will, I haven't decided whether to use Russ' technique or just sand and PVA.

Here's a video of someone doing the sand technique. Hope it helps!!

I think with this build Dc I'd be tempted to do the stipple and glue technique purely because your gonna be constantly handling this model showing off your insane interior and I don't think the sand and glue method would stand up to it IMHO

That saying Russ, on the Merkava the anti-slip is much more prominent than on the Challengers so in this case I think fine sand would actually give a better effect. Because if you want the same very rough effect with the stippling you run the risk of stippling for too long and getting lots of strings. I have had to pull quite a few off bits of my model from over zealous stippling!

Here's the same video of Juan building the Meng Merkava without the mine roller. This guy does explain how to do the sand technique. Also a bunch more useful stuff. Best of luck with the build!!!
