Hi,
this is my third Russian tanks at Armorama. The tank is a Tamiya JS-2 in 1:35. Tracks from Friul and a Gun Barrel from RB model. Painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with pigments from MIG.

very nicely done, she looks like she had a rough outing indeed. i like how you used the Mig products on your tank, looks realistic. i'd be sure to keep my head down if i saw it rolling towards me. cheers, mh

As mentioned, this looks like one b**a** mofo, nice job Michael. What has your experience using MIG pigments been like?

Hi Michael

That IS-2 is looking very good and very russian and I like the raw and abused look of it.
Well done

Ole

Michael-

I really like this! I'm building one of these at the moment, and only wish I had half of your talent. I wanted to rip off a large chunk of one of the fenders, but couldn't bring myself to be brave enough! Yours look great If you don't mind, how did you go about "tearing" those off?
