Maddoxx77 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 So here she is, my KV2. The Russian Juggernaut. If you are interested you can check my buildlog where you can see pictures of my various mistakes 😁 always nice for future reference. It was a nice build. I like Zvezda, they produce good kits for a good price. Nothing too complicated, just a straight foreward ootb build. I gave myself the extra challenge of adding figures and i really liked to learn new skills. I'm far from an expert but for a first time they look descent. Anyway, here are the pictures. Comments, tips, etc. Are more then welcome as always. Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏🙏 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Absolutely brilliant job. The tank itself is excellent, but for me, those figures are first class. Great work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelMonkey Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Superb! I did the same kit a few years back. Yours is excellent all round, especially the figures. I love how peely wally the driver looks - like he doesn't see much daylight. Great work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Good work my friend! You have achieved that elusive illusion of making a few grams of plastic look like tonnes of steel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi Maddoxx, Really "heavy", you have achieved a great aspect of mole with chains... I don't know what errors you are referring to, although I imagine that you have been able to avoid them, with a very cool final model. The figures are great, we will always see something better than what we do, but your first attempt, not to be an expert as you say, brings you very close to one already...!, I have tried repeatedly and I have never achieved anything as good as yours...without detracting from the AFV at all, I like the figures even more...lol. I imagine that the figures are from another brand than the one in the kit?...because they have a great level of detail. Looking forward to seeing the next model... Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 You can't argue with work of that standard, from the mud to the weathering, it is all top draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know wich brand they are. I ordered them via Wish/ Ali express. But the quality was prestine, all resin figures with excellent detail. I gues they are from a company like Alpine or Stalingrad models. Btw, thank you all for all of your comments they are so much appriciated!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mate Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 fantastic result; as others have said, the figures look brilliant, and I love the slight sheen on the tank paintwork that makes it look properly heavy. Diorama base next....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with your modelling skills….this all looks great to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
