Amazing build, awesome weathering and excellent photos too  You clearly put a lot of effort into this and it shows, would have been so easy to go OTT with the weathering but you have it spot on, well done Steve

Looking forward to the T-34 mate, love them Russian ones!!
All the best Daran and Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and yours!!

Absolutely brilliant Nem! I especially loved that 'chipped paint' effect in the turret area, it made the whole thing look like it was really cast out of 'heavy metal' a fantastic effect and a huge credit to you!  Mind you, looking at all those '88's in the side lockers, no wonder the turrets used to blow right off if the side armour was penetrated! Well done indeed! And a Happy Christmas too!

I loved this the first time I saw it and still love it now! So much so that I have downloaded the pictures of the work in progress as a reference for when I crack on with mine which is still boxed on a shelf
