Wow. Nice, nice work. Can you tell us a bit about how you did the figures? Very subtle detail from the looks of it.

Hello Steve.Thanks very much for your kind comments. The figures are only base coated ... the base colours are just blocked in. No highlighting/shadowing/weathering made at this stage. I´ll update later with some better images and close-ups before they are fixed in place. 2 very nice figures from MIG Productions .. good relief in the details, so painting should be easy enough.

Well guys. Its been a while since this one was started. Its been finished since last year, but I never took final photographs. I updated the computer at Christmas and the camera software (RAW to jpg) didn´t work. I downloaded some drivers yesterday and got it working again, so here are the final images. Feel free to comment and/or critic.













The complete blog can be seen on The Assembly

Thanks to all those who commented and helped during this build. Its all apprecaited.

Beautiful work Frank. Love the contrast between the Brick and cobblestone street. Of course the T34 and figures are outstanding.

Nothing to critque here. Excellent.

Beautiful work, well done

You're a well rounded pro class modeler! Scratch built details, the building and paint/weathering work ... and the photography aint so bad either

Very nice one indeed! Great model, even greater paintjob and weathering, authentic looking scene. I like that a lot! Congrats for that very fine model Frank

Outstanding! Worth all of the time and effort you've put into this project. Looks very real. Great attention to detail. Excellent photos too.

Thanks for posting and sharing your builds here. It's always a pleasure to see your builds and read through your logs.

Great work Frank. Excellent detailing although it is out of our eyes. I like the base and how you to made the wall and principally the tank weathering.

Cheers.

Pedro.
