As I said in my earlier post, this kit is truly measured by the paintjob.

Obe, as I had mentioned in the chat, this is very effective and realistic weathering, although I am not a fan of a lot weathering, but this approach is called for for this particular model, and come out fantastic.
Good work.
Good work.

Obe, just a question and an observation... Cause I don't know about this but... #:-)
I see some minor marks, but the concrete surface at the base of the turret looks pretty clean. Does the turret move or rotate? would there be any possible contact that could gouge, scratch or mar the surface of the concrete? What about bits of debris being crushed and such between the surfaces causing marks and gouges?
Just wondering :-) Still looks great

Hi, Superior job there. You are truly gifted in the painting and weathering department.
You should write an article on the steps involved in your weathering processes so others who are just staring out, like myself ,can learn from and try some of your techniques.
I've seen some articles on doing major weathering jobs in some issues of Armour Modelling, but unfortunately I can't ready Japanese. Ha!
Take care and keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to the rest of us. sgirty

Thanks for the encouraging cokmments guys, I am realy happy how it has turned out so far.
Sel, about your recommendation, I was considering that and I may add some debril and damage to the cement part. Thanks.
Steve, the base is not scratch, it is an excellent plater base that came with the MIG kit.
DJ, the shells are CMK resin pieces and were painted (Airbrushed) with the excellent Humbrol Brass colour. The spent shells had a slightly thick mix of Tamiya flat black airbrushed for cordite stains. The unspent shells had the strip of red and the grey painted in Humrol and Vallejo respectively. The shells were then washed with balck artists oils to impart a slight grimy finish.
Thanks again guys,
Andrew

Oberst - that was FAST.
Very nice job. The paint job does make this kit.
One question - would the empty shell be on top of the turret? No big deal - wouldn't change it - just a question.

hey Andrew nice job . Nice painting and weathering ...The one thing I noticed is you painted your ammo in a brass color and by this time of the war ,most shells were made of steel .The steel shells were covered in a laquer which gave the greenish tint to them .Of course this doesn't in anyway take away from the great job you have done .Keep up the great work.

Andrew---thanks. I am rushing out to get the Humbrol Brass. The subject and your superb craftsmanship should be winners in any contest. Just a great job.

Yeah Richard, I read about this at Missing Lynx but I could not decide exactly how these shell would look. And here I am, obsessed with accuracy.
Penpen, if I could paint figures, I would add one for sure.
Anyone know of a good late war soviet figure in an appropriately dramatic pose that would suit this vignette?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hey Andrew I think the easiest way would be to paint them polished Aluminum and then use Tamiya clear blue and green mixed together and sprayed over it ...Haven't tried it but sounds like it would work.

Richard--why don't you try it and let me know how it comes out. I bought the Humbrol Brass and will see what comes of it.
