DocRob Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Fantastic result FA, the Russian heavy metal came out great. I like the wear and weathering a lot as well as all the tiny details, which pop the eye. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to create more battered look than my previous builds (abrams and tiger). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Looks amazing , very realistic finish. The extra detailing paired off, Bravo! I just noticed one small thing, the gunner's hatch should not be welded. Other than that exquisite work. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been too eager welder at plant 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Nice work like your welds and weathering. My work does not usually include weathering. My tanks are meant to be seen by me as as sort of recognition models displayed on my coffee table....I know my efforts are dismissed or criticized for this, but I'm getting the urge to start the weathering thing. I like the inclusion of the SVT-40..brings back memories. I owned one of these at one time along with many Mosin-Nagants and just about everything else used by the allies and the Axis during WW 2. Nice touch. Anyway, my weathering will always be light.....no big clumps of mud. Thanks for posting your work. BTW, really like that crazy IDF thing you're working on....good stuff!

There is nothing wrong about clean looking tanks 🙂. There are cool also. I recommend to try use different filters(ak filters are good). And maybe small drops of oilpaints to create hues. That creates illusion of more weathered look without using much chipping tecnique. Start light and try something not so visible (stowage or under side of tank). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you own any weapons from Finland? Because lot of them were sold to USA after war. Nowadays there is craze to destroy all historic weapons in Finland. If you sell deactivated ww2 weapon you must weld it shut and drill dozen holes and render it worthless piece of metal 😭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wanted a Lahti pistol but could never find one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine tune everything and give it to trained soldier and you have deadly package.🫡💪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who knows when or where the donor rifle was made. I also had in my collection a Remington contract made example of the '91...talk about nice. That one was in beautiful condition. Nicely finished in blue with an American black walnut stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect weathering and battle damage , you can almost feel the weight and roughness of the castings. Congrats perfect in every way. Also the first 1/16 AFV I’ve can actually say looks convincing…..
