Managed to get something painted while being crazy busy at work…

They look great. What green do you use?

Nice work…. but why are they not pink? 😉

[a27cromwell 3188xp 0]

Very nice . The only pink one I ever saw was on a plinth in Prague . Are there more about ?

One of the tanks needs to be Rudy 102 and have a German Shepherd sitting on the hull.

I can smell the leaking oil and diesel from here. Great work.

Chap in the tan jacket – where is his hand? 😮

Seriously lovely work though!

Driving in a tank all day you get a bad case of the Betty Swollocks.

Need a good itch.

@piers truly great natural paint job mate. I am getting very tired of the 3D graphics style of painting.  So does this mean we can look forward to something interesting coming up for the Eastern front.

Trivia

On the early models there was a weld seam that ran across the front hull armour that would cause the armour to unharden around this joint. This area could be penetrated by a 20mm gun and on one month the 20mm guns claimed more kills than the 88mm guns.

Epic work on the Soviet tanks, @piers.  Looks like a mix of 1943-model T-34/76 turrets and earlier-production T-24/85 turrets (smoother left sides, no small bulge to accommodate the new turret drive motor)?  One with Polish markings, and one with what looks like 62nd Guards Tank Brigade / 10th Guards Tank Corps markings on some of the 76s?

Epic work on the weathering and the uniforms!

Za Rodinu!
