Zvedza T-34/85 for Simon's Memorial build

[Tim Marlow]

Personally I think they look great. I would think there would be drips, but obviously photos are the way to go. Getting something to look slapdash without it looking like a poor build is a very hard look to nail. You’ve managed it here.

Chris the tonal variation on the green is very good and the hand painted details have come out very well.

Yes of course they would have been put on in a very quick way, done during the chase, not much time was spent sitting about. Your take on it I think is about what one would expect to see .

Do the paint drips look ok ?.. or are there too many ?, would there have even been paint drips ?...(I'm going with the crew kind of slapped the paint on without too much care and attention to detail).

Nothing much to report on his build this week, did make a start on some Russian Assault Infantry and the Miniart building/dio arrived, however we've got building work happening at home, so everything's on hold, normal service will resume though......

What is the time limit on the group build ?

Hi Chris

mainly worked on toning down the turret numbers,

I would say that has been a great success - looks fine so worth doing :thumb2:

Nice work on the weathering Chris. Coming along really well

Thanks Steve,

Apologies for the apparent stall on this,
The building work at home has been completed but work has been chaotic..(I work for the company that's been dealing with the minus 80 degree freezers for the storage of the new CoVid19 vaccine), however I'm hoping I can re-start 'threatening plastic with glue and paint' this weekend,

However, I did manage to knock up a few figures for the build, they just need a little bit more work and I'll post some pics... maybe later today...

here you go... some progress...

A few comrades for my dio. (they look a damned sight better in the flesh).

Since I've finished painting these I've gone back and made slings for the weapons from one of Mrs L's discarded wine bottle foil caps..

[Si Benson]

Nice work Chris, the group of chaps look really good :thumb2:

Chris,
That is a great collection of figures

[Tim Marlow]

Good looking lads those. Nice job!

[langy71]

And a bit more progess,
just basic 'colour blocking' but it's a start...




and a sneak peek at how this is going to end up....
