Good stuff! The snow and mud looks great; like it has just come in off patrol.

I've got the Zvezda/Italeri kit, and hope that when I get it done, it'll look half as good. Any tips on how to do the snow?

Nice to see your T34/85. If I could, I would suggest adding a wash to your model of dark borown and Black, esp. to the eareas around the engine intakes and recesses.

Did you use any of the P/E in the kit??

It looks good with a nice coat of mud. Nice job on the whitewash.

Thanks for sharing

my suggestion is to add some marks of running water - in these wintery times with snow and mud, there's water running from the sides of the tank and this creates muddy / rusty stains.

like on this tank; look on the front side you can see the subtle dark shade of running stains.

very nice T34 - i have no comments on the paintjob, it looks quite perfect.

Only nitpick is the bent left handle on the saw, these were made from wood and would break instead of bending.

Very well done, but watch out for the track on the right, it isnt glued on well.

Also, i like how you applied the mud, but may i suggest glossing it up next time because a dark color like you used would usualy represent wet mud and a tanner color dry and dull mud.

In that case, you would also want to weather your tracks and wheels accordingly. http://www.missing-lynx.com/rare_world/rw05.htm

Also, you might want to change your method of installing tracks and

other than these minor mistakes everything looks well, and i like how you applied the wetsnow, blends in very well.

To me for some reason Soviet tanks look good one of two ways. As a wreck or covered in snow.

Thansk for sharing and for the links!

Hallo, really perfect work. I am building the same kit and have small problem with Magic Track. Do you know how many track link should be in one complete track in each side ?

I cannot find it the instruction sheet and "quantity" in kit doesn't respond...
