Welcome to Track 48.
The ground work, detailing, and photography all look fantastic.
All the best,
Matt

That is just wonderful! I love the wrecked weathering and the groundworks. The only thing I don't like is the base. The orange streaks are too distracting to me and distract from an otherwise superb display of modeling skill. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me!

It's coming along very nicely! I like the added screens especially. Good job with the hobby boss!

Outstanding, especially since it is still incomplete.

Particularly well done is how the vehicle is integrated into the groundwork, which I think must have been a lot of work...

I have a finished HB T-34/85 with much of the same damage (we shared some of the very same ideas here!), but your treatment of the groundwork, and the way you integrated the vehicle to it, is clearly superior to what I even projected to do.

For instance, I made ONE burnt-out tire, grinding the rim clean; how did you do so many? Do they come ready-made in resin?

My only regret, and this is not a criticism, is that you did not fully demonstrate the workability of the HB see-through hinges on the plastic tracks; they are actually better for the purpose of a thrown track than Fruilmodel metal tracks would be, because they "hold" the first position you put them in, even when bent cold! The thrown track you have done is realistic, but modest in scope, perhaps because of the bogged-down situation.

Can't wait to see it all finished.

Hi Adrian,

Wow, I repeat, wow!!!

Excellent work!

What a great find, I can't wait to see photos of the model!

First, I'm sorry .
My English is very bad.
I've read it, I understand most, but my writing is much worse )

"For instance, I made ONE burnt-out tire, grinding the rim clean; how did you do so many?"
I file them.

I'm begginer.
I'm still learning.

Upgrade:

Mud= pigments by Mig, still water.
I've added plate with the name of the tank.

Very nice wok!! I agree with Tim that the rust on the base distracts the eye a bit. Also, Where the wheels burned so hot to turn to ash....the ground isn't discolored(blackened) and the weeds(grasse closest to the fire would have caught fire and burned, too. Maybe a bit of smoke where it came out of the engine compartment..........UNLESS....this is meant to be a relic that has been there for months and the rains have washed away the ash and grasses have re-grown......
All in all.....just superb!!!
HTH, Dave

"UNLESS....this is meant to be a relic that has been there for months and the rains have washed away the ash and grasses have re-grown...... "

Exactly
"I agree with Tim that the rust on the base distracts the eye a bit"

Ok, I try soften that rust

It's people like you that make me feel inadaquate. That is some really nice work. Wish I could build dios that looked like that.

That is just a great job, and let me say that it is wonderful to see a Hobby Boss built up !! I think these kits have gotten far to little play, as they are the all plastic T34 folks have clamored for You have done some first rate work getting this one together, that's for sure Hope you will forward images to us for the Gallery as well.
BTW for the group, last day for the $10 sale on these kits at Squadron for those who want to experiment with one.

Ufff
