All,
I hadn't yet moved them to a visible album. They are now in a "spanky-new" WWII Soviet album under MODELS / ARMOR.
Very nice job Paulo. Looks like that tank has been to hell and back. But most eastern front tanks had, so that's a good thing.
Are you planning a dio for this kit?

Great job Paulo! :-) That rust looks so real, I wanted to get a wire brush and scrape it off!

Paulo - looks great - captures the "feel" of a Russian tank. Good job!

Thanks Gunnie and Ken, and better of all, it was very simple and easy to do, I just pint it overall white and then drybrushed with dark green in the weathered areas, following came the dry pastels chalks for overall rust and heavy weathering, for mud I used a Papier Machč technique, itīs just higienic paper mixed with white +water solution until it becomes a putty, apply with a brush then paint as you like...no big deal!

Paulo - Nice job on that " Russky " Armor. Looks real good.
It would be terrific as the main subject of a diorama !
