Hi Scott,

That is a superb build ........... The weathering and beaten down effect you've achieved is really first class. :score: from me.

I have one tiny comment........and it's a mistake I made a few times before it was pointed out to me.......... The Red Decals. They look all new and not dulled down and weathered like the rest of the superb job you've done......... Hope you don't mind my comment.

Peter
 
very nice indeed.....i take it you used the hair spray trick for the white wash?

tried it myself for the first time last month on a Panzer IV, not as tricky as i thought it was going to be

Very nice Scott. Not into tanks etc, yet, but looks a really nice model. As has been stated the stressed look is just the part. The wheels I like a lot.

? what is this hairspray thing. What does it do ?

Hi Laurie what you do is this after your base coat is applied seal it with one coat of Johnsons clear. once dry i applied 3 coats of hair spray one coat every 20 minutes, you apply your white wash and leave approximately 2 hours. take a cup of hot water and cut most of the bristles off an old brush, dip it in the water and scrub at the white coat, this will start to come away. Continue with this until happy.

Nice one Scott!

The weathering is spot on! I always think, the T34 is the perfect "guy" to do a damage or weathered winter camo!!

And your paint work is perfect, with some interesting details!

Cheers. Polux

For the rust i used washes of burnt scienna oil paint around the grab handles and generally here and there. it is easy to go too far here so stop working every so often and look at the kit both close up and at a distance in natural light. you will know when it is right.

Fabulous paint job again Scott! I think you missed a trick with the seams on the gun barrel though.
