I comment them, the weather is too cold in my country (Chile), everything appears frozen in the mornings, you are enjoying the summer there, you are lucky friends.

Thanks TRM, for the information, I needed a walk around of the T-34/85, now I will have to work more on the model.

Friends:

I need a hand, the color scheme the T-34/85, was Russian Green? or Sand Brown?, was camouflage green and sand mix, or simply, is dust weathering?

I don't think you should worry too much about your paint colors being right.... ball park it !!! it's like 30+ years old.... and sun burnt ! Salt water washed !!! and Sand blasted to shred.....

This will make a nice conversation piece.... looking forward to see how Far you can Push the Envelope on this one.... a very nice RUST UP project in deed !!!


Take care !

out !

Hello Richard...your welcome. I agree with Norm in the sense that with weathering from the coastline and the UV factor over 30 some odd years, you should come close to a match once you get there. From here, it does look an awfully lot like a camo pattern that was on there. Green & sandy mix. Not a bad idea planning out the paint job while you build. Get's y6ou prepared for that sweet end game.I see a nice rusty base, hairspray and some salt in your future though on this bad boy!!! Make sure you post your progress....I would love to see how this goes!! ;D

Yes, I must agree with what everyone has already said.
This will be a cool project, and it will be interesting to watch as it unfolds.

Hola / hey, K-4

I must agree with the guys, specially with Schweinhund´s comment.

ANY chromatic resemblance with the original colors in wich the tank was painted must be, simply, impossible...

Cheers / saludos.

Hey guys, thanks for comments, I show you my new progress in T-34/85, really I don`t like how see the engine cover of the Zvezda and decided to copy the engine cover of the dragon model T-34/85 Mod . 1944 in resin, now looks good and I'm happy in the assembly. I send you pics of the step.














Coming Soon!!!!!

[spud]

did you cast a new Rear end for it?

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent molding work there. Nice modification

 

[TRM]

Remarkable stuff there Richard! That cast looks a lot better!!! Nice damage control to the fender as well. Not to sure about scale on the tea strainer...close?? Might be close enough though. Give it a shot!! Looks great, Keep it coming!! ;D

 

[K-4]

Hi guys, new advances of my T-34/85
I really hate the cyanocrylate, was a fight to build the grid and the resin. No need to be neat and anyway the rust cover defects.

Hello Richard! Really nice progress!! I agree, one you start weathering the grill any imperfections should get lost within the rusting. Still really liking that back plate you made....very nice!!

 

[errains]

Hey K-4 this is really Kool!

I love that you cast a new rear plate and it came out darn awesome to boot!
Cant wait to see the painting process on this bad boy.
