GazzaS Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi everyone, Finally completed this model. I don't time my models, but between life and other kits, Iit's been 45 days start to finish. The snow was a bit of a failure, and I really need a better way to take photos. Anyway...here it is: Thank you for looking and sharing your comments!

DocRob Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You nailed that T-34 Gaz, the pose is so appealing dramatic with the tank on the verge of tripping over and the tilted turret. Some smoke from the exhaust would be the only thing added, but don't ask me how. I like the subtle modulation of the 4BO and the snow is looking very convincing to my eye. очень хорошо товарищ Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thank you sir! I was happiest most with the paint job as it's been high on my list of things to improve. Gaz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Great finish Gaz and a nice dynamic pose. I can just imagine the teeth-rattling thump as that pitches forward to land! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the hardest part of being AFV crew is trying not to hit your head on all of the metal bits that stick out everywhere. Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboxx Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The tank, the pose and snow fantastic. But also your base deserves a pat on the back. Awesome work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Gaz, absolutely stunning, the the subtle weathering against the snow is spot on. With the pose you’re almost bracing yourself as it hits the other side..........what did you decide on for the slogan? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Phil, Thank You! The turret markings are "Suvarov 166". An Imperial war hero resurrected by the Commies to rally the ppl. Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodolfo Torres Vazquez Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Great work, the detail of the tank going up the hill is excellent! Regards! Rodolfo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapperSix Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Gaz you are a model making machine! I very much like the overall scene. I can see the drama of the fight in your work.... But I hate to tell you panel one of the tank was built in the Ukraine in 1941 when they only used olive paint type 2.4 from Venezuela. Also the vents on the rear engine deck were made by a guy name Harold on a Tuesday after an argument with his dog. Because of this he used the inverse ration of wiring in its creation. Had your tank included any of these factors it would have been ok..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I love dynamic dioramas like this one. I can almost hear the squeaking of the tracks and deep rumble of the engine sneaking over the hill top. Minus 40 outside and fuzzy-warm times with your buddies inside of this famous beast. Bravo ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 As an 'expert' on snow ( I pushed it off the roads for 38 years) I sure don't see a 'snow failure' here at all...... looks really good to me...... I really like this... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have guessed Venezuela was a large paint exporter to the USSR....lol And Harold.... is there a Russian equivalent? ...lol Gaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
