Hi there again,
just finished another little scenery here showing a russian KVII who's been given up and then forgotten somewhere in the east...
enjoy the pics....

A very good idea that has been well executed. the only negative is that it looks as if you have cut the rubber supplied track straight across, and it may have been better to bury the end of the track in the surface or you could have cut it off along the edge of the diorama.

nice work. I will be facing the finale on my rusty-burned KV-1's soon, and I hope I can pul it off as well as you.

Looks very good! I like the rust-effect!
I also built a "forgotten" thing, a german WW2 artillery piece in russian snowed steppe.

Wow very nicely done Holger. The rust looks very good. I do have to agree about the tracks but other than that this looks excellent. I did a similar model last summer with the KVII.
I look forward to maybe seeing another rusty tank from you in the near future.

I noted the lack or grass work under the tank......just something I saw. Love the weathering.

Very cool! The only thing I would add would be some random garbage around/on the tank. Obviously people have been around the tank as seen with the graffiti, but people likely to deface the tank would have left garbage around. Cigarette butts, pop cans, newspaper, that sort of thing. Hey, maybe even some spent spraypaint cans!

Nice piece. Like the rust job and graffiti...darn kids! I might suggest some bigger vegetation like shrubs and small trees growing around the wreck. Maybe even some growing up through the tracks and running gear. Maybe add some empty beer bottles....darn kids!!! That would compliment the graffiti.
