    Oh I see. I almost get carried away but I have an annoying younger brother who makes my life the devil's domain by getting after me about photos...

    Thanks a lot for the kind words @Wez. I am curious though, what tradition did I follow? (I am a bit new to this...)

    The work is finally done. Sorry about no intermediate pictures, but my phone fell into the hands of a five year old cousin who did quite a bit of deleting and has caused rather a lot of grief. (Memo to self- Models and phones do not mix well with small children)

    1/35 JSU 152 (Berlin)-May 1945) Tamiya Kit. Various paints (Humbrol, Vallejo, Camlin Artists Acrylics, AK) WIP here Comments and criticism welcome.

    The tracks and lower hull are officially done, and now I will be focusing on the upper hull. I think I have manage to make the tracks look realistic, but please do tell me if anything more is needed The side view: Top view The front with spare track links added
  12. Vaastav
    Hello all. Update time: I painted the upper and lower hull, as well as the wheels. The paint is a homemade approximation of 4BO, made by trial and error, so please excuse it if it is a bit inaccurate. The upper hull 'T Lower Hull The Dushka Roadwheels

    Thanks @CliffB for the kind words. Update time: The tracks were made and the fitted perfectly and weren't too much of a chore to make. The upper track section on the jig: The tracks attached to the tank: Front view: The painting was started with Dmitri the loader: Comments and critiques welcome. Stay safe

    Great tank. Very nice
  15. Vaastav
    Thanks @Wez I am looking at starting the painting next week
  16. Vaastav
    OK, update time. The kit is mostly finished (except for the tracks, which will be done) The muzzle brake on the gun was very well made and realistic without any flash or anything. And here is the gun mounted (with cement bottle for scale) The kit's Dushka, was also quite an intricate piece despite having the wrong muzzle brake for its type The entire casemate top I decided to leave the commander's hatch closed because he is rather deep down and not very visible, so I will only be using the loader figure Dmitri the loader Stay safe

    Great work. Though how your hand remained attached to your body after all those squiggles is a mystery.
  18. Vaastav
    Alright it's update time. The lower and upper body have been glued together. I will be doing the tracks later, as Tamiya have provided link and length tracks as well as a jig for track sag.  PE mesh was also given for the engine grilles. A nice touch from Tamiya. Some of the odds and ends on the casemate have been added The cap on the return roller fell off when I took the photo. Comments and criticism welcome. Stay safe

    Thanks @Wez, the build is now Here.
  20. Vaastav
    Well, Its the truth John. Anyhow, update time: The Wheels are done (lot's of them here.) The lower hull: I decided to put the spare track links on the front after painting. The squashed bits of metal are bullets that are being used to weight the tank. Comments and critiques welcome. Stay safe
  21. Vaastav
    OK @Wez please do move it to the appropriate forum.
  22. Vaastav
    Hello all. The link to the WIP for my ISU 152 is Here. Stay safe.

    I got this just after I finished the 222 and Horch (Yes, I belong to the breed of modellers who live from kit to kit) because the neighbors were getting rather pesky with their renovations, so I thought why not get a demolition man tank to set them straight After getting it I thought that I might want to join a GB, but, I hadn't the foggiest idea how to, and so I approached the patron god of Israeli tanks and Shermans John (@Bullbasket) who directed me to the GB page, and there I found the Journey's End GB of which this will be a part. I plan to do it in the Berlin scheme with a white stripe running around it. The box top The sprues Apologies for quality of photos, but my phone's camera is acting up so I had to use my old phone.

    The tank looks stunning, like what you would expect to find in some strongman's private collection.
  25. Vaastav
    I have finished the work, and this is now in RFI. RFI link: Thank you to @Foxbat, @Hamden, @Ernst, @robw_uk and @Bullbasket for the kind comments, support and advice along the way.
