Fellow Big and Beefy Campaign participants -- I'm probably jumping the gun a bit here, but please use this thread as a place to post a pic or two of your completed Big and Beefy models.

I'll also contact Jim Lewis and request a Big and Beefy Campaign spot in the Gallery section of the site for your completed pics. Once Jim has that set up, I'll post a link to it. Thanks

Steve

Ta- DAH!!!!


My Big And Beefy KV2 Bige turret.

You are probably the first one Lord C. Congrats

Another ribbon to add to your collection

Steve

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (++)

Hi Carl,

Really Nice Tank u have there, which green u used? It really looks great!
Congrats!

Cheers!

Dan the base color is Model Master Russian armor green,with a few drops of dark green added.
I sprayed a mist of raw sienna over it all.

Here'e my JS-3 for the Russian campaign.







The Green is valejo model air. Various powders added but not too much I hope as this tank did not see much service I believe.
Enjoyable build, nice and simple out of box, except for canvas roll at the back as nearly all photos of that time seem to have them somewhere.
Cheers
Tony

Nice one Tony
Is that the Tamiya kit?
Andy

Hello Andy,
Yes that's the Tamiys kit. I have no idea concerning it's accuracy, but it's a really nice kit to build. Also my first campaign!!

How are you getting on with your build. It's a lot more adventurous than mine.

Tony.

Here we go,one done one to go :-)









sorry about the crap pics ,it's raining out!!!
and the figure,

Het that looks great. Figure too. Two models? Are you doing a dio?

Tony

Hello Tony,
no dio mate ,I've started a T-35 ,even bigger than the 28,!!! mmmmmm five turrets to build :-) :-)

is there still no gallery for this campaign?

Ditto what Vance asks. I can't find the gallery for this campaign. Unless I am looking in the wrong place of course

I'll check with an editor. With the server change issues I'm not sure its doable yet or not. I'll let you know what I find out.

Once one is available, I'll post a separate thread with the link.

Steve

Mmhmm,
Ta da number 2,flame machine

KV 8 flamethrower version.The main gun is only a 45mm,the flame mount is only to the right of the mantlet.

Nice one Carl,
you've got a production line to shame the motherland :-) :-)

Torchski :-) :-) :-)

Here is my KV Big Turret for the Big and Beefy campaign.. First KV, sure wont be the last. Only issues I had was with the decals. The "ben" portion literally fell apart as I slide them from the backing.. This had me in fits, so I just hand painted them.. Painted with Tamyia acrylics, I had to mix a green seeing as I couldnt find a russian green to save my life..Comments welcomed..






Dave

Very nice Dave,I wound up hand painting mine,after consulting babelfish.com for a translation.

i like it very much. The green looks pretty good for a home mix

Here is mine

Hi all,

This is my entry for the B&B Campaign.....It's a KV1-simplified turret ....

Hi Mikado
Nice KV1 you got there. Nice clean build. Tempting me for another KV

Here's my completed KV-1 Heavy Cast Turret by Trumpeter. It was my first go around with Russian armor. The kit was great going together. I wish though that I had gone with the link and length tracks instead of the rubber band ones. But I had put the skirts on before the tracks so I didn't have much of a choice.

It was painted with MM Russian Armor Green. The whitewash was done with Tamiya weathering pigment. It was easy to apply but had to be re-done after I applied a coat of Dullcote. Mud on wheels was done by using Mig pigments.

Hmm.... and why not...

"Big and Porky" ??

hehe....beef/pork

Jim

Just in case one does not know where to go to see this Gallery:

Now, gotta get back to my Trumpeter KV-1s Ehkranami (pretty cool model kit)...
