Bobby, that's great work on the KV! Nice variation in tone for what could otherwise be quite a dull paint scheme. You seem to have mastered the AB first time round, well done!

Finished KV-1 tank.
hi there people. had a few free days to get stuck into my kv-1 tank and now i think thats it, finished. it's best i can do. almost had a disaster, i picked up householed gloss varnish spray instead of my model spray and covered the tank, straight away i realised it was to thick and glossy and i though i'd ruined it, but after continuing with the weathering i think things turned out ok. here's a few pics.

Spot on Bobby, I do like to see a well used Tank.
You have this tank looking just right, not over weathered, great job.
The tank tracks? Couldn't be better for your diorama. Just churn up the track a bit to show a bit of mud, plonk this beaut' on and it will be summat else!
Well done,

Hi Bobby
I've been really busy with work recently and haven't had much chance to catch up with the builds so apologies.
Dude, that is a great finish to the KV, excellent! You must be very (and quite rightly) pleased with the result. I'm now looking forward to seeing everything coming together!
All the best

Nice one chap - that's a hell of a scene you got there! Very nicely done, it captures the desperation very well and all the details are there. Your figure painting really is the dug's danglies as well! Very very nice Bobby!

Bravo Bobby - that looks the nuts!
When you first described this scene I had my doubts about the mortar/tank battle - but you really do almost hear the clanking of the tracks as it grinds it's relentless way forward! I think if it was me manning that mortar I'd have been at least 200 yards away by now galantly sprinting toward the horizon!
Seriously, this dio has come on so much - brilliant!
Congrats mate on a great looking scene.

Ps. Are you going to rust the barb wire?
PPs. 5 stars from me!Comment

hey there guys. thanks very much for the great comments, reading them really made me smile
yeah, i'm very happy with how it's turned out. but now i'm so eager to get straight onto a new one. i think i'm hooked!
i'll get it finished on my next free day and post the pic's (hoping to get a good full view shot) up on the completed page.
ps. paul, yeah, i was going to twist small wire barbs onto it with a bit of ripped cloth and maybe some sheep wool, i definitely
think a wee bit of rust will be perfect to top it off. i've also hollowed out a spare german troopers helmet and added the inner
frame and loose straps, it was a fiddley wee thing to make and paint but i think it makes a nice touch laying on the ground.Comment
