    T 34 green thingy with holes in it !

    Afternoon

    Decided to call it a day on this build but when on the base will add more fuel pooling and pigments to hide some misstaks and the joins in the tracks

    Tamiya T 34 / 76, this is part of my first dio showing the T 34 knocked out by a StuG, showing a hole in the left hand side, impact on the turret side and front plate with no penetration. also one of the fuel tanks punctured with split fuel

    My grateful thanks to Steve H :thumb2: but must mention the superb support and encouragement from Steve Jones :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

    Have tried a few new ideas especially modulation

    Hope it goes down well

      Hi Bob
      Looks good to me. Certainly deserves a nice dio base.

      By the way a "green thingy with holes in it!" is called a golf course :tongue-out3: :rolling:

            Bob,
            looking good! - Now you've taken your first step towards salvation, I would suggest the Trumpeter KV-1...........it would be a shame to let that 4BO paint go to waste! :smiling6:

                  Well done Bob. Nice to see the final changes you made. You've learnt a lot from this build which you can now take forward to the next build. Thanks for involving me in the process and sharing this build with us all. Great stuff mate

                      Hi Bob

                      That is looking very good indeed. You should be very pleased with your efforts!!!

                      Out of interest how hard was it not to give it a base coat of dunkelgelb?!?!?

                        Bob .
                        See I said you would become hooked with the might of the Motherland.
                        Careful as the KV 1 ate Stugs.

                        Nice build, :thumb2::nerd:shame about having holes punched into it though :loudly-crying:.
                        Now say after me , 4BO Rule , repeat as needed.

                            Green Beast? = Zveroboy = Beast Slayer = SU-152? So called because of it's ability to knock out Tigers, Elefants & Panthers
