1:72 M1A1 Abrams- Anniston Army Depot

Album info
The idea for this project came to me while reading the new issue of the AK Wornart Collection.
Representing an M1 in this form seemed like a good idea to me;).
It is intended to represent a used M1 that is stored in the Army depot and awaiting for reconstruction.
I used Dragon's M1A1 (7215) for this project.
A somewhat older kit that has its advantages and disadvantages.
If it's cheap, it's still a good choice.
I also used some parts from the Part PE set (P72-125) and an Orange Hobby aluminum gun barrel G72-195).
Some of the PE parts for the storage baskets broke or were lost, that's why I depicted it with the jam storage bins dismantled.
The figure comes from Germania Miniaturen and is a 3d printed item.
I made the base and the tiles myself.
For the tiles, I used Ammo acrylic concrete paste to preserve the structure.
I then applied a thin coat of diluted AK foam sealer and sanded until bits of the paste came out.
That adjusted the grain of the surface a bit and then I painted and weathered everything.
I didn't quite get what I wanted with the painting on the tank itself, but it should be acceptable I think...hopefully...?
