Dmitry,
This is truly excellent work; very inspirational indeed. You have given most of us food for thought with what amounts to a tutorial on how to scratch build. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the final result.

I agree, excellent scratchbuilding skills Dmitry. I have a question for you, why not make a mold of some parts such as the turrets and cast them as a single piece of plastic or resin?

I have thoughts on making a copy of this model of resin. It should be the set for conversion of available models. But it - in the future.

It's starting to look more and more like the monster tank. It's great seeing your work!

Thanks, Greg.

WOW!
Another great job Dmitry!
I wonder if some companies would be interested to use your models as masters for serial products.
If Dragon has produced a "German paper panzer series" why don't it make a series of Soviet subjects?
Congrats indeed and many thanks for sharing

Getting down to the finish line now. This is going to look fantastic when you finish it.

It'd be nice if some one picked up the slack. You'd think with the old kits for the T28 and T35 going for $60 to $100 it'd be enough incentive to put out new kits of these and others, like this one.

That is one great looking model. The level of detail is on par with a 1/35 tank

Excellent build. Reminds me of the old "Basic Techniques, Advanced Results" articles in Fine Scale Modeler. Hopefully this inspires more people to scratchbuild.
