Hi guys,


The 'Baptism of fire" project has met its ending.
In other words, it's finished, done, fertig, af, fini, comppleto, färdigt.

This has been a great learning experience to me.
Experimented a lot, tried new techniques, and most of all, enjoyed it like never before.
I'm just hoping that my new project will not turn inot an anti-climax.
Not that I allready have any new ideas though.

Anyways, here's the result of five months of pleasure.
Enjoy, I know I do.

And now, shoot please.

Fantastic job. It actually conveys urgency on the part of the tank commander. And the design and composition are very well executed.

Axel, real nice job. A good dio and you don't need a writen story to convey the message. I think the building is fantastic. Only thing, I wouldn't want to be the Russian under the hopper if it cuts loose a load . Been there and didn't like that too much . Keep up the good work.

Axel, forgot to ask. Is that a water bottle for the hopper? Good idea if it is.

Hi Axel. Ive been following this for some time ... and enjoying it very much. The factory is very convincing and composed very well ... allowing for some great and believeable details and action.
There is one thing I dont like, and thats the bottom of the silo ... it looks like a bottle with a large ring. No details here? A few valves, taps, levers, etc would make a lot of difference ... and more than likly hide what you used for the shape. It almost feels like because its at the back it has less importance .... but we all know modellers love to search for hidden details when looking up close.
