This time it's the Dragon T34/76 1942 kit...

Still a few things left like a Grief lens in the front light and some more
work needs to be done on the engine deck. Some cargo and a few
other bits and pieces will also be fixed.

Hope you like it.

Regards

Sven-Åke

Once again, awesome work, Sven-Åke!! Very nicely done, and I hope whenever I start in on Dragon's T-34s mine come out half as nice as yours.

I look forward to seeing anything you put together.

Thanks Matt!!!

I'm really glad that you like my builds, and I will give your offer
some thought and get back to you

And I'm sure that once you get started on your T34 it will be
just as good as mine.

Best Regards

Sven,

Looks like another average build for you. Of course, your average work is very, very good! Well done!

Small scale wonders.



Thank You Very Much Bill !!!

There will be more "wonders" coming your way soon

However, there's more that needs to be done to this one first.
The danger with taking closeup photos of my builds is that I
see a whole bunch of things I need to fix and it also brings
new ideas for adding stuff on it.

Cheers!!!

Thank You Thomas

I'm really glad you like it !!!

I will try to finish it this coming weekend and add a few things
weatheringwise. Rainmarks, rust and some more scratches.

Best Regards

Hej Sven-Åke. Another superb model. Love the winter finish and the contrasting colours of the stowage and decals. The signalling crewman really draws in the viewers attention. Nice one.

Thanks Frank!!!

I was very unsure if I gave it too much contrast but when looking at
it "live" it's quite ok. The figure really brings it to life both color wise
and it also makes it look a little busy. I will try to squeeze in another
in the drivers hatch too if I can find a suitable figure.

Thanks for your nice comments!!!

Best regards and Cheers!!!

Hi Sven!

Nice one, I especially like the mud on the vehicle!

To me the paint looks like white wash on gray color. Am I right? If so, then tell me please, what's the story behind the gray coating. I thought all Russian vehicles were green.

Hi Peter!!

Well you are both right and wrong :-)

I first painted it to symbolise a very worn green vehicle and then
the white wash was applied thinly all over the green paint. The
grey you see in the pictures are in some places a very dark and
dirty green shining through where the white wash hasn't covered
totally. I guess it's an optical illusion that is further enhanced by
the thin white overspray.

Best regards!!!

Sven-Åke
