It's looking great. Are you going to put it on any kind of a display base or diorama?

I built a shitton of armor when I was in my late teens
I miss being able to do that now..  giant props to you OP, having the patience to do it.. that's the big part I need a lot of work on  there used to be model shows back when.. haven't seen one advertised in decades.. thats where you could go see tons of examples such as yours.. people with a lot of talent.. .inspiration and mentors. |

The detail is amazing! Others should look at this tank as an example. Great Vampir site. I am somewhat saddened though that there is no commissars body strapped to the front of it.  Getting time for me to build a Tiger from Heavy 502.. in case the Panther needs some real backup..

Quote HistoryQuoted: What do you use for mud? AK interactive makes all kinds of terrain affects now that come in a jar. Mud, dirt, dried mud, water, snow, concrete, asphalt, etc. I just got done finishing this with some of their snow. And they have different kinds of snow. I use the ground effects and then the micro balloons to make it look like snow that has just fallen.

I hope to shoot paint on it sometime here when it gets a little warmer where I can open up the garage and have the room to paint that beast. I built one of those Krieger kits and wanted to build more but like you I passed on it because of the cost.
