Hello friends.
Long time without post here, but a bit busy as a usual.
I finished this new and little vehicle mainly for the new magazine of Marcus Nicholls,
http://www.militaryillustratedmodeller.com/
It was build by my friend Carlos Cuesta. Thank you!
This subject is great, because can be made in many scenaries, from 1943 to 1945 (it was deisgned in 1941!!)
The camo was inspired in a modern soviet 2S3.
To make this kind of vehicles is always funny, and the size helps a lot!

Thank you

Ah, also I painted this funny engine for a 1/25 caterpillar (civil stuff)

What else can I say. Your up to your normal high standards Mig. The weathering effects are fantastic as always. That Dozer motor is gorgeous, the chipping and weathering is superb. I can't wait to see the rest of the Dozer.

cheers

Rob, i hope doen't paint the whole caterpillar because is very huge and is too big for me!
I just make the favor to my friend to paint the engine, and also to test some new products.

Also, thank you very much for your comments. I really apreciate it!

Thank you

MIG

very unique looking tank and once again an incredible level of paintwork achieved on it.

did your friend Carlos scratchbuild this vehicle or is this available as a kit?

cheers, bd.

Bruce-
I believe it is the Hobby Boss VK1602 kit 1/35th scale.

Mig- I am with Rob. The tank is fantastic- but there is something about that dozer engine...

Reminds me of my childhood on the farm. Great stuff!

Steve

like Bruce said in his reply, it is HobbyBoos kit, very simple to build and funny to paint because is very small, is like a small Panther.

thanks both guys!

MIG

ALways great to see you're keeping busy with AFV's
This ones a real trip
Looks like a fun one to romp in the mud
Love the paint!

Its tough to make basic green look as good as this model. The tone of the dirt and dust is perfect as well.

That comment, coming from you mens a lot of for me, thanks master.

MIG

i dont usualy like paper panzers but you ave done a very nice job of this 1!

Nice weathering effects specially on upper hull sides, great work. Modern russian camo suits for this vehicle.

About CAT engine, it's very fascinating! Simple, single colour object and still packed full of interest.

All best,

Thank you very much Jari, I apreciate your words a lot.

The Soviet camos are really fascinating. They have even camos that seems from IWW!!!
Is a endless fount of inspiration.
But about weathering, your models is even better ereferences than the real ones.

keep on the good work!!!

I cannot wait to see your next model.

Thanks

MIG

of german fashion! Hi, hi....
This Leo is really cool, much more nice than the modern one!!!
I hope you have different criteria for girls!!

Thank you so much Gunnar, but the weathering is not so special, just the classic one. I would like to prove muy self, doing something more risky. The next one!

Take care

MIG

Hi Mig,

Model smells pure "Mig" style.. Really great effort with this small ugly monster.. And what about from figur? Is it also from your brush?

Cheers,

yes, Ozgur, I painted the figure in a couple of hours. Nothing special, but one of my friends pushed me to make it to give size to the Leo. I owuld like to have molre time to paint the figure, butI was in hurry!

Thank you

MIG

Hola MiG;

Very cool little leo, Mig. It's your usual excellent work, but what always catches my eye the most on your work is way you get the overlapping effects of dry dust and wet drips/stains. That always looks so good on your kits.

And I saw the Caterpillar engine on your blog...very cool. And greasy!

Cheers, from an always impressed fan, Pat

Very cool kit.

I saw this model at the AMPS show and as usual your models are fantastic. Is the main gun an aftermarket barrel? the end of the barrel is really unique, not like the typical 5 cm gun seen with a PUMA turret. i assume the muzzle brake was left off?

absolutly inspiring, and a masterpiece as usual! a very original subject cuopled witha a stunning finish! I like the spare tracks, very realistic!
