IS-II

Modeling Subjects Armor
21

Wow, what an outstanding build! Your weathering, weld seams, condition of the fenders, open tool boxes & rags etc, and crew-painted markings are perfect!

Extra touches like the ditching log and the busted-out headlamp make this a standout job. I love these heavy Russians because of the hardcore, no-nonsense look they have when a good modeler builds them, and you nailed it.

Ok, how about some pics of the model now ehh??

Now that IS-II is an all around beauty…well, as beautiful as some war-weary Ruskie armor can be.[;)] Overall your builds a stunner, everthing about it is great, from the air recognition stripes to the weathering to the tow logs.[bow]

By the way, what type of green paint did you use?[?] Because if you ask me, you hit the nail on the head with that color.

24

Enjoy it…stunning…simply stunning.

Never worry about dropping out of sight for a while…as long as you drop back and bring candy like this.

Rounds Complete!!

Yah know, i absolutely hate it when people photoshop pictures of real tanks and pretend they are models[;)]

Probably one of the best models i have seen in a long, long time. Your client will be pleased (to say the least).

26

Thanks all…very much. Your responses have been overwhelming.

I really don’t know what more to say…I’m humbled.

Thanks,

Rick

Actually, Rick’s looks more real than the one in the pic…

I have the very old and hard to find Jaguar interior for this tank (some awesome resin pieces)…did you do the interior as well?

Actually, Rick’s looks more real than the one in the pic…

I have the same problem Manny, I look more like me than the me in my photo…[;)]
