Jim, very kind of you.
Thanks Andy.
Andy, I must admit I don't think I would have wanted to crew one.

Thanks Joe.
Ha ha it is an odd one. (So is the modeller)It looks awfully nice
Graeme, it must have stuck out like a sore thumb at least it wasn't intended to be a front line weapon.

Just had a quick catch-up. That really is coming on nicely. Can't imagine the design team had ever used an artillery piece in their life...that must have been awful to work in.
Look forward to the next installment!

Hi Andrew, I agree very cramped and with the sun beating down on it, the heat inside must have been awful despite the large doors.

The next stage has been competed. Decals have been applied, followed by an oil dot wash and a dark brown pin wash. When this had dried a matt coat has been applied.
Next up adding the dust and the burnishing of high wear parts.
For those who may be wondering I bent the left hand rail just to give it a bit of damage. Well actually I caught it and bent it
cheers

Thanks Jim.
Both ugly beasts, but at least the KV could traverse its turret, well on flat ground at least.

The weathering is finally finished, with only a little bit of chipping.
the wheels had chunks cut out of the rubber, now they have been painted and weathered I think they look ok.
The back decks have received the worst of the wear as I would imagine they would have taken a beating from the crew jumping all over them with hob nail boots.
Next stowage, base and crew.
comments most welcome and please be critical.

Rick, she is a bit of an ugly duckling but she did carry an awesome piece of artillery.
Thank you John.
Andy, you definitely don't need to serve an apprenticeship.

A masterpiece, Paul.
The weathering and chipping is really spot on.
