The leaves had to be there somewhere! Also, great photos once again, and thanks for adding the bird's eye view, which a lot of people seem to forget! Keep up the fantastic work, stay safe, Rearguards, Badder Hi Badder, Many thanks for your like, follow and kind words, i'm glad you like it. Yep. the leaves were somewhere ... lol. When I take the photos, I try to show the result in the best possible way, for better or worse (I hope for the former ... lol), and that they serve as a reference to the possible modeler, who plans to make a similar model. I myself when I think about doing one, before, I see on the net, that there is that I like more than other proposals of the same model in question, and that they help me for possible errors of assembly of the instructions, or not very precise, there you can look like it would once finished ... All the best and TC Francis.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoat2966 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 That's a peach mate, reach nice. What a beast they mush have been to face. I remember a story told of the reaction of the western allies when they saw these in the Berlin parade in '45.......a little perturbed... Nice job mate.....

Hi Simon, Many thanls for your follow, like and kind commnts, i'm glad you like it, I imagine that yes, the equivalent Allied tanks of that time were not that numerous or powerful, or they were in the process of development or they were very few numerically in comparison. I remember reading a caption on a Red Square parade, already in the Cold War, similar, when the Allied observers saw the T-10M, which also caused them uneasiness ... This is precisely another brute who will soon (I hope) make his "parade" through the forum ... lol Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Nice job !! I have the same kit on my bench, in a state of semi-half-maybe-build complete. Even though fully vaxed, I've contracted COVID, 3 times now, and between that and work, I've done nothing for months. Seeing yours has made me think about picking it up again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing yours has made me think about picking it up again Hi Longbow, I'm sorry to hear that, 3 times sick from this "damn" virus, I hope you manage to recover completely. I will love to see your interpretation of the IS-2 when you decide to finish it. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_55 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The finished product you made is really wonderful like a work of art. I don't think it's easy for anyone to copy. The details are detailed and harmoniously matched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's easy for anyone to copy. The details are detailed and harmoniously matched. Hi Michael, Many thanks for your follow and most kind words, i'm glad you like it. Personally I think that it is more difficult to copy than to create, in this hobby, since we already have an initial base (sprues, plans, decals, paint schemes, original references for more reliability...). Of course when I start a kit, before, fortunately, there is the Internet, an immense source of knowledge and help. I see models like the chosen one, already finished, and if I'm lucky, at least I fix 2 to 5 and I end up choosing the one that I aspire to as closest to my style/ability. Inevitably, it will have resembled it, but when it is finished, it is already a different and unique model. And of course, there are amazing modelers on the forum, IMHO, with a higher level than me, who could replicate it and even improve it. So that all the details fit as you say, it is good to take your time, and try, if you are not convinced, it is better to delete, repeat, or discard... do not leave anything that does not make us feel that it should be there, and it remains stupendously.... that way, the final result will be something that when we see it, gives us good feelings.
