just in case ur not all tired of looking at my pix, here’s yet another one…
italeri 1/72 t-34 w/ chalk pastel weathering & unditching beam added…
(if u look closely, u’ll see the driver’s face is still OD… luckily the upper hull isn’t glued on yet, so i’ll get in there & paint him w/ tamiya ‘flesh’ paint at some point…)
thanx 4 checking out my stuff !

good job, that’s pretty cool and gotta be pretty hard to do on those smaller scales.
Frosty, remove the spaces in your ‘img’ brackets…
good weathering on the small scale!
Oh, there we go, much better! Definitely my favourite so far, Frosty! It looks really good! I’m building one too right now, but I’m not expecting to have it completed before late January, 'cause I have a couple patterns to finish first…(without counting the Panther, the Konigstiger and the Concorde…). Blast!
thanx, Domi !

nice work maybe I’ll do some of my 72 stuff now.
Excellent again! That driver just hasn’t seen a wash cloth for a while… normal tanker ‘wear’!
Never tired of seeing your work.

Frosty,
Your getting me “inspired” to try an armor project in 1/72.
Great Job.
Once again … another fine project from your modelling bench. Keep up the great work.
Thanks !!!
Nice looking tank frosty. I can look at pictures of models all day long.

Man are you pounding out the kits what? You’re doing a great job Frosty, keep it up.
Nice, Frosty-chan!
I thought the driver just wasn’t feeling well!
Looking great! Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see the driver when he gets over his motion sickness. Nice detailing!
Can you tell how you handled the pastel chalk? I have some, but have been hesitant to use them so far. I’d love to hear pointers.
Duke:
sorry 2 b so tardy in response… my apologies ! [|)]
for chalk pastel weathering, u need to chop up some of ur chalk (i use a single-edged razor blade) into a very fine powder, then use a soft brush to apply it directly 2 ur model. a brush for make-up like blush is perfect…
once u’ve applied the chalk where u want it , make sure not 2 touch any of the weathered areas (otherwise u’ll get some pretty obvious fingerprint marks going) and fix the chalk in place w/ some clear flat lacquer.
try it, i bet u’ll like it !

Cool! Thanks frosty! I have some Earth tone chalks already, now I know what to do with them.
Thnaks again and Merry Christmas! You’ve given me my Christmas present with your advice.
