Hello,
here are some early progress shots of my small scale T-34/76 DML kit I thought I would share.
as you can see,the ammo racks and small cables haven't been added yet!
The inner turret as well as the gun got some extra detailing as well as many other items.
Unfortunatley,this didn't make it into the Osprey Book so, I'm hoping someone would like to have the article for a Magazine in the near future.
I'm still waiting for some acceptable tracks...
Thanks to Mike Kirchoff for the help and
inspiration!!..
Like the others said, you shouldn't have any problem finding a magazine to publish an article. Is the interior completely scratch built? It looks like it is; I can't wait to see more.

that you missed the deadline, this would have been the headliner. Better for me that you did, this one blows my efforts away. Goodness, man, come on, all of this detail and in 1/72 scale? Alex Clark is still the king of small scale but a plot seems underway. Well, whichever mag gets this T34 will be better for it, and I will definitely buy that issue. If I cannot steal one when no one is looking. Superb effort. My hat is off to you. Oh, and go to work once in a while, I call you and I get your morose message each time!

Again Nick, I am glad to finally see this model that I have heard so much about in the phone conversations. You are the styrene queen me amigo. Fantastic work as always. I have been dabbling in some 1/72nd stuff at work and it is an entirely different world my friend. How did you ever construct the gear around that cooling fan!!!!!

Nic this is without doubt some of the best scratch i have ever seen, not to mention the scale!!!.. some of those parts must be really delicate, the gearlevers etc!.. Superb

Nicko,
Absolutely beautiful job, my friend. I have to keep reminding myself that this is 1/72-scale! You truly are a master of your domain! The linkages are particularly impressive, but everything looks perfectly executed. Can't wait to see it painted and weathered with that "Cortese-touch". Seeing your work inspires me to attempt a small-scale interior ......!
BTW, I just returned from a family camping trip, otherwise I would've been the first to respond!!!!!!
Email me more pics to place in the "Hall of Fame" folder in my hard drive.

...absurde and subrealistic... I cannot undertand it.
Today I decide to change my hobby. I cannot still watching this kind of jokes in 1/72 scale, made with laser and alien technology.
