I have been playing around with a copy of the Tamiya 1/25th T-34, this is the progress so far, considering adding more snow, sorry about the grainy pictures, I will take some better ones soon. I have added the casting marks all over the turret, cut out the rear grill and added mesh, I had to build the cupola as the kit one was missing, I have added the odd chain and a branch etc. I do hope you like and sorry for the poor images.

Tony, that looks great. I just finished a Maquette T-34/85, and it doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours.

I have been using the Precision Snow and Ice wash, their site is down at the moment

fantastic stuff, I paint it on, let it dry brush to odd bit off, seal it with Humbrol matt varnish in a rattlecan and repeat to build it up, see links
