Very nice, I like it. The dirt gives the mine (?) plow good contrast, but the wooden log seems a tad too shiny. :)

Very nice but  thought you were meant to be assembling hordes of T-34s?

Bako: As far as I know they come with a factory standard log. Just think of it as varnished for preservation  ;)

Carlos: Oh, you will see loads of them soon....

Very nice. Each time I see your work, I ask myself if I should give 20mm a try 8)

This is the sort of monument to mono-mania that I can really enjoy. Twenty odd years ago I built similar items for my 6mm Soviets. There was absolutely no need to do so and few if any reached the tabletop but by the time you have built up a few tank and motor rifle battalions at 1:1 scale, it becomes an exercise in completeness, a sort of wargaming/modelling OCD.

Very nice work as always.

SandS MT-LB converted with what I think is the launcher from RH Models. Managed to build the tracks in reverse (doh!) and halfway into the build I noticed SandS actually do one of these in their range (doh!), but other then that had fun. Made a few small additions, the mushroom dome on top ( 4.5mm air gun pellet  :D ), the wire frame at the back,radar dish, didn't add floats , passive IR warners etc, I've seen as many with them as without . No aerial in the pic, I'll propably make a new lot of those when everything is done, they are removable anyway. Decals as usual by Doms Decals. Enfin, enough text.
