What he wrote—brilliant composition. I also kind of really like the semi-gloss appearance with the tank if that is indeed what I am seeing.

No, that is just lighting and the photo editing program on my phone. I applied a coat of Humbrol Matt Coat and that stuff is DEAD flat...

Now that is blooming awesome Stik - the flag is a great touch.

Thank you Stuart. I just need some adjustments for the final position. And now that my last project is finished, this is now my current project.

I just have a display CATastrophy which occurred yesterday to deal with in the meantime... thankfully it did not involve this one.

Stuart! I love that! Cry Havoc indeed!

Yes indeed...

Excellent Stik ,excellent

Well today I did the final bits of work on the tank itself.

I added dry brushed highlights yesterday, some clear parts glue for vision blocks & periscope lenses last night and added some paper details- cargo straps and “cover ups” today in the midday...









The brown paper on the front sides of the turret was seen on some of the Soviet tanks during the occupation move, it was likely some sort of security measure to cover the standard tactical numbers...

A little while ago I did the dusting coat, so I’ll get photos of that later once it is completely dry...

Ok, I’m calling this done....









Now I am wondering if I should or should not add the crew figures...
