Hi all
Normally I do German stuff, but some AFV's you just have to build. This is the T 34/85 from Dragon, and I used some PE from Aber and made the weld lines on the turret and front hull from Green stuff. It's suposed to be a vehicle from 7th mech. Div. during the early spring battles in Hungary.
Please do comment.
Jacob

Look very good, I love your winter camo and mud. I like AFV's with winter camo.

Cheers

Hi Jacob!

Congratulations, very nice work!
I like the extremely worn out AFV's like this.
Otherwise, what kind of material made the rag? It's very well done!
(I tried earlier the lacquer-soaked kleenex, but I was not really satisfied with it.)

Antal: I used tissue paper soaked in White glue and Water.
Jan: Yep, and you'll be even more suprised, if you look at shipwright and see that the long awaited SMS Emden is done.

Jacob,

Lovely winter cammo job! I especially love that damaged exhaust.

Hi Jacob. Great job on the faded winter white wash. Looks great as does the weathering on the lower hull. I also like how the missing armored exhaust cover is done.
The upper hull needs something extra to lift it and give life, as this result is rather flat and hides the hull details some. This effect has been done to detah lately with so many experimenting with salt and hairspray effects, so to make your model stand out and memorable, it needs more. Hanging some extra personal gear or some stowage from the hang rails and adding interest to this area, as well as some colour contrast, would add a lot to the over all model .... in my opinion.
