Hi Christian,
Nice build, as to the tow cables may I suggest using some suitable thread to tie the eyes to the towing hooks on the vehicle to simulate them being tied off.

Thanks, guys! I will look into the rope thing, so it can look realistic. It's a good idea, Scottie.

Pictures of the current state of the T-34/76. It has been gloss coated with cheap rattle-can product. The decals on the turret were applied after a pre-emptive, additional layer of gloss coat. I am not sure if I caused silvering this time around, or if it's something else, but I realise it's not possible to determine this through the pictures. Just mentioning, and maybe it'll go away once for instance the surface is matt coated after weathering. I hope so!

Christian.
Nice ! As we can't see the silvering why worry. Annoying with out doubt but it be disguisd if your going to apply weathering.

First layer of dark green wash, excess removed a few days later with Vallejo Airbrush cleaner on a cotton bud.

It's subtle right now, but when compared to the pre-weather images above, I feel the difference is clear.

Love the surface texture of the turret barrel hold.[ATTACH]320751[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320752[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320753[/ATTACH]

Hi Christian.
Now that looks good, are you going to do some pin washes. Nice surface to work on, so the wash will flow well.
Looking fwd to the next up date. The T34/ 76 was my first build, a great model to work on.

Hi John - absolutely no problem! I was just thinking maybe I - as a relative newcomer - had misunderstood what a pinwash was!

That’s a nice T-34 Christian....once that Matt coat goes on it’ll look even better! Are you adding any dirt/dust?

Thanks, Si! Yes, I will be adding dirt and dust, and probably Vallejo mud, too. It's all too much fun :smiling::thumb2:

No Christian . its me . :smiling2: How much weathering are you going to do ? In case your bothered about doing it there are plenty of videos on U tube. Keep posting your up dates.

I plan on doing dirt, dust and mud. Also I think chipping, maybe light, and rust or rust-colouration. I usually don't know how far I'll go until I actually work with it. Having seen many YouTube-videos on techniques, I am currently in "practice mode".


Best regards!

Nice work Christian. Good luck with all the weathering.
