Here she finally is... My T34/85 model44. the T34 is more or less finished some small things I have to do and at the moment I took these pics a lot of those thigns are already done.. some small touches of paint here and there and also finally finish the crew for it and then it`s ready for the KMK scaleworld....

Well enough talk here are the pics:





Well it are not the best set of pics but they`ll do After the KMK scaleworld I`ll try to make new and good pics of the T34 with crew on groundplate and completely finished

As always I like to hear all the feedback even now the pics aren`t great (sorry for that)

Ola Rob! Nice wear and tear on the fenders. Tracks have just the right amount of wear and tear and slack to make it look like it's been on the move for awhile. Overall great job...can't wait to see it on the base we discussed in chat.

God, Ola, this is a real well done T34, the weathering is just about right, subtle yet effective, the fenders are real nicely done. The wear on the armor looked convincing, and spill/rust on the fuel tank is awesome.

Good work.

What can you say outside of - Excellent Work!

Dave

Thanks for the replies on this tank I really appreciate it.
At the moment I write this I really did the last touchups. and I`m nowe working on the crew.

Again thanks

very good work, very good. just this

Faust,
That T-34 looks really nice, seeing your T-34 and Steves (WWH) ISU-122 makes me wanna build something Russian.

didn`t expect this one to come back.. Thanks for the replies guys I really appreciate it

You haven't started it again have you? Jim.....lol

Awesome work Faust. The build, paintjob and weathering are all top notch. Thanks for sharing, and love to see the figgies on that beast when your finished.

Cheers

Rob

Jim
Hehehe no I haven`t started it to my won surprise this topic went further on it`s own



Rob
Thanks for the compliments and to teel you that the figures were finished quite a couple of weeks ago. I only didn`t have time to shoot pics of it. I think myself that the pics in this topic are not that good too. I`ll shoot new pics of the whole project with figs again this week.



Kevin.
The whole tank is the DML T34/85 model44 with the Royal Models Exterior Update. Brilliant set that is I can recommend it to everybody.
The whole tank without paint look like this:



Again guys thanks for the compliments

Hey Rob!

Great construction and great painting job.
The inconsistent look on the T-34 is the most realistic way to go.
Awesome work,

Andrew

Faust
That is one nice looking Beast.

The thing that jumps out at me is the dark wash over it. That is nicely done. Very realistic as far as what I've seen.
Nice build images too.

Thanks again for the replies.

Actually it`s a mix of several washes.. Actually a big amount of washes. I always call it some sort of filtering but actually a better name would be Striping. With several variants of the base green (lighter and darker) I make stripes on the tank. Always in a logical direction vertical lines as that is the direction rain and such will flow (on the real vehicle that is) When added a couple of stripes on an area I take a dry brush and I stroke all the lines into the same direction as I made them and I stroke them till they are nearly dry. When you do this in several tones you`ll see that the colors start to overlap each other giving this inconsistent look Oberst mentioned. Another nice thing is this is a good way of making rainstreaks and if a stripe is too light/obvious or whatever could be wrong with it you simply go over it with another filtering to tone it down. I also do some washes/filters/stripes with other colors like greys and dessert yellow. The first to create darker areas the second for dusting the vehicle.

Again thanks for the replies

Rob all I have to offer is three cheers Well done!!!
