Real nice work.

Just love that little tractor! I think Miniart make something very similar.
Keep up the good work Chris

I believe your right Patrick , Miniart does make one. Just a base coat of color on here so far , wanted to get some color around the areas where the windows go so as not to get paint on them afterwards. If possible I will wait to put them on close to last. Thanks for the kind words................Chris

Superb work Chris, excellent paintwork mate, looking forward to seeing more.

That is looking superb Chris. The weather worn look is very very good.

As said above , just a quick basecoat of color. Have lots to do still. I like Grumpa hand paint everything with acrylics , so lots of layers and shades before shes close to done.

[Guest]

real like this one,so well done on the color so far looking good,
I do like these Russian things always can find some think interesting to do,

Thank you Monica , glad you like the progress so far

So I was thinking of maybe putting a cover over the barrel of the gun as it will depicted in towing mode. I will have to look and see if the Russians commonly practiced this , and what they looked like if they did. Probably going to put these on a base afterwards , possibly a muddy road? Im not sure yet.

Me too with the military models. I think it gives them a rough look that fits them.

I recon they were mostly "Rough Arsed Painted" anyhow. Particularly the Soviet stuff........... I brush paint everything. Not just the military stuff, motorbikes and cars as well..... I can turn out a pretty fair Gloss Finish with a brush and lots of patience Chris.

I guess so Peter! Id have thought you airbrushed that. Ive never done a car or anything as such so never invested in a airbrush kit. Plus its more intimate sitting under the spotlight and picking out details with the brush I think.
