Wow!

Three thoughts come to mind.

1) Damn, I'm building a 1/35 scratchbuilt SU-76 so I' m already beaten before I even finish.

2) That is a mighty fine piece of work, he is truly talented.

3) How did he manage to make the track links?


Either way, amazing work!

Hey Horacio ... well we´re just glad to have proof you´re a mortal being.
Just when you think you´ve seen how good modelling can get, the limits are knocked again. To take an unusual subject like this and take it to this level, and then crew it with 7 scratch 1/16 figures, has my jaw dropping.
Top notch modelling and hopefully now that you are connected, I hope to see more updates on the scene and figures. Thanks Carlos in helping bring Horacio here. Made my day!
