The Factory

[tr1ckey66]

Hi Ade

Coming on a treat! Take yer time with it mate - it'll be worth us waiting I'm sure. The detail is unbelievable!

One quick question, are the seats , engine and battery just positioned within the interior ie. not glued? Just unsure how you'll paint the interior walls otherwise. You've probably got a plan though.

Looks brilliant makes me want to crack on with mine!

Cheers

I have added some pictures to the T34/85 thread in Reference. There are some interior shots of this well worn example, will be the same as the T3476 for inside and much of the outside but the hatches are different.

Hi Paul, I was just dry running the batteries and seats etc, want to make sure it's a nice fit prior to the painting. Need to visit hobby shop tomorrow when I'm in London to get White acrylic spray can. Then I can use some nice oils on the interior.

Thanks in advance Graham for the pics, will have a butchers at them.

Hey Martin, the kit design makes it with loads of details and it's not exactly a hard build either.

Will be popping in and out seeing how your all doing.

Thanks

Ade

Hi folks, sorry not been around as work has gone mad, so much to do and so little time!

Had a re-think about figures and I've decided to use the idea of fighting in the factory but I like the idea of some Germans waiting for the T34 to get close so thay can put a mine on its tracks. Maybe a panzerfaust as well from the rear, so I've changed the figures originally for this and got these now.

Nearly there on the bottom part of the interior, but even this build is taking its time.

Now that is looking the business Ade, very nice job mate, love the weathering effect, great to see this progressing so nicely mate, well done, all the best, Martin :-)

[Guest]

Will be a shame to have all that interior detail hidden, looks stunning.

Hi Ade

Nice job on the interior and a great choice of figures. I'm thinking of leaving the upper hull 'loose-fit' on the top so that the interior can be viewed (if the fit is good). How about you?

Great job on the weathering looks a like a well-used and battle-hardened machine.

Hi Chaps, I will be doing the same as Paul and have it so you can look inside. Going to kit crew as well so it will be cosy in there.

I do like my weathering as machines like that deteriorated very quickly in battle, with all oil, fumes, smoke etc

The hull MG does seem quite small though, dont know what calibre but its not as meaty as the 7.92 MG42.

[Guest]

wow! now i see what that kit is really like. it looks so good. so detailed. great for a bit of heavy oiled up weathering. it really is now going to be super to see this finished. i'm hooked!

[Guest]

Ade this is one nice lookin T34 the interior detail is amazing, take it slow and keep up the good work.

Hi folks, hope your all keeping well.

More done to it, this is the most enjoyable tank ive done and im not a fan of Russian armour but its great little kit.

Ive bought a airbrush and compressor so ive had a dabble on a few old wrecks then coated this tank up using Tamiya olive green and dilluted with car screen wash. Thanks for all the tips on airbrushing it helped me out big time.

So without more ado here is a few more pics;
