Well, I’ve been to the LHS and picked my victim. They never had my first or second choices, in fact, not much Russian stuff at all. Anyway, the KV seems to already be well covered.

I came away with this though….,

it’s on a KV chassis, but is a failed SP gun variant. Apparently it was fitted with two 45mm guns and a 76mm gun……God knows why :tongue-out3:
Should be a little different though.

I’ve made tanks before Rick, though nothing as big as this, and at least the painting will be easier………my biggest tank previous to this was a Panther for an old MM group build. I might look for a commander figure though LOL…..

Here's a shot of those Rooskie figs you were asking about Lee.....there are 12 figs. but only 7 of 'em are riders....not sure I'll even do that many, you won't see the tank for all the hitch hikers on board. :tongue-out3: The second photo is just "eye candy" for Mr. Eberle (Minitanker) ;) There are 124 unbuilt Preiser kits in that box. This is what happens when you buy kits for over 40 years.P1012015.JPGP1012014.JPG

Well Rick I don’t feel so bad now buying all those different Scale Model kits over the years. I like the figs would like to see you use them I’m thinking about using some 1/48 figs myself

Many thanks for your kind thoughts. Its very much appreciated.

We were called to the hospital 2 days ago, of course fearing the worse, however hes still with us and there has been a small improvement. Dreading the phone ringing!

By the way i have built 2 russki things in that green stuf, forgot its name;)

Yes, wonky and OMG..... They're not StuGs or a ship..... Perhaps your camera was trying to reject them and the wonkiness was the result....;);)

As for the green, I think it's called 6HO, H2O, R2D2, C3P0 or something of that ilk....:smiling5:

In all seriousness though, I hope that however the situation with your father-in-law pans out it doesn't drag on and that he's not in too much pain or discomfort.

ATB.
