close ups; really pleased with the way the weld lines and the rough cast surface
of the turrets and the hulls reproduced with mr surfacer  ;)

some WIP shots...

mr surfacer was used to stipple onto the surface of the turret where the metal was cast - to try and recreate that "workmanlike" finish you see of soviet tanks... (i'd just come back from Bovington and had been stroking the T34/85, that baby is rough as anything with weld seams as wide as your hand is long in some cases!!!)  :-*

Lovely work on Ivan's armour. I like the extra detail you have gone to lengths to reflect on the AFVs - well done.

Who is the maker of these fine AFVs?

thats some amazing work there, and 1/72 only as well, I thought they were bigger with all that detailed painting, could never hope to match such detail at any scale

Simply stunning work.  certainly the most realistic weathering in this scale in my opinion.  I would be proud to own these babies - the guy in Sweden is very lucky!   :-*

I was thinking the exact same thing... I thought they were 1/48 until I saw the paint bottle. Amazing work.

Exquisite Panzerfaust. Are you related to the Troop of Shewe chap. Your work resembles his 28mm armour even though its 20mm. This link may be of interest.

Superb detailing and weathering, that Mr surfacer is very handy.
