T-34/85 mod,Soviet,1.35,

[monica]

should be a nice build,looking forward to it as well,

Looks like I may have to become Russianeefied and start looking at Russian tanks for the future.


So Monica what's the best one to start with without going into Dragon. I might even think of a Tiger and a Russian tank dio ( or is that old hat )


Even with no pics Monica we know your skill in your tankies is sublime.

[monica]

glad that you do like it,Robert,


if your not done a Russian tank you real should I,think,there enjoyable buils,


if your not thinking Drago,which I find alright,maybe try a Tamiya,or Zeveda, are both good kits as well,

[monica]

well a good day today got quite alot done,which I,m happy with,


so the next few days will leave set and cure ,then add the marking,


real love the Russian tanks,just one color but a few shades from dark to lite,were the weather hits it,


some may say its looking a little lite,but once you start with the weathering and washers will change the


over all look of her,


well hope you like what I have done so far,


she was an enjoyable build,even with all the wee fiddly bits hear and there,


so will be busy the next few days so not much will happen other than washers and so on,


cannot real do alot with the tracks until im home all day,maybe start the long parts and wait to do the bends


I know some will say wow that's very fast but its a very nice kit to do and just seamed to go together so well,


that's what I,m saying,

[bazers]

Like the shading you have got on this Mon.

[monica]

ta Barry glad your liking this so,

[Guest]

Yet again you're racing along Monica! Oh to have some of your enthusiasm for making kits... maybe you've got my mojo?


Looks good though & you're right, that shading will blend together further down the line.

[Guest]

Looking good Monica. Totally agree with you regarding the start light and weather down. If you intend weathering to any degree, it's no good starting with the finished colour on armour especially. This is one gorgeous tank.

[Guest]

This is a really great base for further weathering.


Plenty of shade and highlight's to start with like this T34 are always's important to me.


Great work.

ta all so glad that your liking it so far,

I tend to find Patrick,if I,m on a good run stick with it so to say,as I,know at some point the nagging will start


so as I have some time for me make the most of it,


I find it easy to do the pre-shading so I get an idea of were to go,and what I wont to do,

ta Graham,I find even giving it a couple of washer in a dark green will bring that lite shade up a could of shades so by being the color it is


it should change to look and tones of the whole thing and not be over dark,

This is a really great base for further weathering.

Great work.

do total agree Ralph,this was number one on my hit list,for Russian,armour,its a nice looking tank,


just some think gabs me with it,and I tend to find the paint work on them was by far not the best


paint in the world,and adds a little life to it by having thhe tones that show the harshness of the weather


and battle field,

[aaron]

Awesome fading Monica, looks like it's going to be a sweet build.

[monica]

much appreciated,Aaron glad your liking it so far,

[Steve Brodie]

Awesome, love the WW2 Russian tanks, always look like hulking chunks of metal where as German stuff - always look very well defined, sharp edges and dare i say boring (running for the shelter)

[monica]

ta Steve,glad you like it so far,there a like that,build to do one thing only,and did it well,

[monica]

well got some time today,but not without can you do this or that,drop me off pick me up,


but with all that I did manage to get the tracks done,a few little grrr ops: spots,but I can live with that,


so have both hulls joined and will let sit for a day or so them get the decals on,


started the figures as well,real wont more done today but some is better than none
