Looks interesting Kimmo. Will it become part of a larger diorama or towed behind a vehicle?
I have plans for the other vehicle towing this....
An anti-modulation modelist.

Was cleaning up my stash and I found something I was working on for the KV campaign. A box 'o KV's. Really want to finish these heavy's up.
Some slight work. PE grilles on the engine deck of the KV-8, and finished up some welds. Removed some stuff on the German KV, added some new parts. Made a new jerry can holder (kit supplied one was warped). I'm repainting it. Saw some other builds on the net and I want to go with a green/sand yellow scheme.
Not pictured but I also did a bunch of work on the KV-2 hull and am now working on the Heavy cast turret KV-1. Saw an interesting green/red brown camo I want to try.

With a "Box o' KVs", might I suggest concentrating on just one of them? You might have a shot at fishing it in 7 weeks as opposed to trying to do something on all of them and not actually finishing any one.
Ask me how I know...

Been meaning to finish things all year, but the year's ending is finally giving me a push.
As they're at an advanced stage of completion I hope to get them all done.

Robbie, that great! I'd love to break out my gaming computer and play some MMORPGs, but sadly where I live the Internet service is terrible!
Some progress on my Pz. IV, I should be done in a couple of days.
Cheers,
Dustin

I guess you'll at least have to finish it in a digital camo scheme

Sean,
Oh no no no, I would not even want to think about an attempt to do digital camo - on anything. I think the semi-gloss black finish looks fine thank you.
Anyways, If/when Unfinished Business 2016 starts, I have a few projects on the shelf I can attempt to complete for that campaign.
Cheers

Hi Everybody
I have my Spotted Leopard finally completed. The tracks took a lot of time to complete. Here are some completed pics and I have put some in the gallery also.
My photography isn't the greatest and i just noticed as I uploaded the pics that I broke off one of the antennas again. Its been fun and I will be back in the next Unfinished Business campaign for sure

I just have to try. Didn't do much during the summer because it's too hot. Now it's nice and cold (for California) and not much too do.
Aside for wasting some time and being sick, I have moved on through my builds.
Hulls are done, got some paint on the KV-8. Decided to drop the KV-1s 85 because I don't think I'll have time to do the work necessary to finish the turret.
Finished the turrets. The KV-8 turret was already done before the campaign, and the German KV turret just needs to be repainted.
These two were the least complete when I started. Like how they turned out. All tanks just needs some finishing touches before I paint. Rained today, so it was a no go. Already got lower run of tracks cleaned up, just have to top run to go.

Finally got around to posting the pics of my completed Sdkfz 250/1 in the gallery which had been sat around half built for a few years. I've used the photos I posted on here of it's in progress and finished state months ago as I can't take any new ones on account of it being in an Arnhem dio
