Been fun, and another later model still to build at some point.

Thanks for following, the banter and comments.
Hopefully see you on the next build starting later today.

Thanks Jim, I have swept up most of the snow in the cave .

Well done JR! Looks like you had a lot of fun with this build mate. Great to see

I did indeed Steve, each time you find new ways, some work some don't . Did enjoy the first try with Flory washes, have you used them ?

Great job John, as Jim said you can feel the cold,

Thanks Mark, time to take my coat off again.

Top Shelf work there John, love how convincing the snow is. The buildup on the tank's drivetrain and along the fenders' edges especially catches my eye. Brrrrrr !!

 

[Neil Merryweather]

I bloody LOVE that , John!
Definitely a 'Dog's' from me.
Woohoo!

 

[Mini Me]

Cheers,
Richard

Just excellent John. Gives me the shivers though, both because of the cold and because of that huge barrel pointing at some poor unfortunate.

 

[What?]

Wow just outstanding.

Top Shelf work there John, love how convincing the snow is. The buildup on the tank's drivetrain and along the fenders' edges especially catches my eye. Brrrrrr !!

Thanks Ron, the build up on the tracks and drivetrain was made using white silicon , the bathroom type sealant and mix of snow powder. Just mixed it in till it sort of looked right.

I bloody LOVE that , John!
Definitely a 'Dog's' from me.

So, I've finally managed to have a look on my laptop.....all I can say is that looks suitably cold!! Rather them than me!!

I love the whole composition, even though it's a static model the action poses of the figures bring it life and even the angle of the gun gives, the impression that something has just happened or is about to. A really top drawer effort and definitely worth the sites highest canine testicular award!! Very well done indeed.

Two thoughts have just come to me on looking at it.......

Firstly, what did you use to create the snow? Was it home made or a special modelling variety?

Secondly, what on earth would Finnish troops have thought with that behemoth approaching that close and they find themselves looking down the business end of a 6" gun........

Again, very well done.

Top stuff Dzohn. Never had the guts to try snow. Well done.

 

[rtfoe]

It does look cold so its either the shivers of the point blankness of the gun or the cold that'll clear out the bunker. The supporting troops will be getting a chockfull of plaster and mortar from the blast. They better hit the dirt. So much action.

Cheers,
Richard.

Thanks Andrew. I always use Precision Ice & Snow, hair spray as the adhesive .This time to build up the snow on the drive train I mixed the snow powder with some white silicon sealant.
Yes imagine that beast lumbering up and firing at you, not a nice thought.

Top stuff Dzohn. Never had the guts to try snow. Well done.

Cheers Paul,think you should have a go, don't think you would have any problems with using it .

Quite right Richard, and most likely deaf from being that close,or dead from the blast !
