Not only is the model simply stunning. But so is the quality of the pictures. Two thumbs up and even a toe.
Check out the little oil can. I love that kind of detail.

Really a great model. Great weathering on a tank that I have not seen before.

Kudos to you and your conversion choice. It sure does look heavy.
I commonly add lead weights to the inside of my armor models to give them extra heft. Not only does this give you extra piece of mind transporting it - but it also gives an extra bit of "reality" to the model if it is handled by you or a judge (gasp).
I typically use lead weights for pine wood racers. Super glue works just fine to affix them to the inside.

I can just follow the others! Great work!! Must have been a hell of a work, but the result is just amazing!
Can it be, that I know that model from the german page www.panzer-modell.de ??

The enigma conversion certainly adds to the base kit, which conversion set did you use?, i have the Cromwell one but haven't tried it yet
Seeing this one certainly pushes it up my to do list.
Thanks for sharing
cheers
