Only two pics of this one, sorry. The Trumpeter kit was a breeze to build. Only aftermarket is the gun barrel (RB?). The figure, again painted by Armin Huber, is from Tamiya´s 18ton halftrack tractor. The base was bought on a model show for 1.00 Deutschmark!

That looks great! But I will ask for more photos if possible... The KV-2 was such a big beast!

Cool, a Beutepanzer!
The fact that you paid the base in good ol' Mark lets me guess that this is made pre 2002?

Thanks for reminding me that I am this old... Yes, I remember the change from b/w TV to colour. And also the 1969 moon landing.
Sadly, I don´t have more pictures of the KV II.

Great build Thomas! that turret itself is frightening enough even without barrel.

Thomas,
Your work is always amazing to see! Ditto your photography! Do you choose your backgrounds based upon color sensitivities or aesthetic designs? I like the sand colored backdrop here very much!

Bruce, I have some coloured sheets of card board that I use for backgrounds. I just select those to my taste. No magic here!
While I use my iPhone for WIP progress pictures here and there, I tend to use my Canon EOS 60D with a macro lens for the "better" shots. Camera settings are manually done, as is the depth of field.
