Hi James, thank you for the fantastic series - I watched all four, start to finish. Impressive result, I especially like the contrasts that you created, a lot of details to absorb here. If I could make a simple suggestion, I think the decals are all more or less pristine, compared to the rest of the nearby surfaces. The “377” decals may have seen some grime streaking from runoff caused by the hatches above, and the crosses some heavy weathering (especially the one on the back of the vehicle, which feels like it is asking to be chipped and scratched, given the surrounding details). Again, thank you!

Terrific work. If I could suggest something concerning the stills at the end - photograph them from a greater distance for more depth of field (to keep everything in focus), and then crop in post to video size (or change your lighting so you can just shoot at a smaller f stop). This makes for a technically better photo (which your work absolutely deserves), and adds realism because a shallow depth of field makes the model look small (because we're used to seeing that effect on close-up shots of small things) while a fully sharp image gives an impression of size. But wow, your work is amazing.

Really nice finish... one thing that struck me when looking at the final pictures is the number of gun cleaning rods you've got on the kit ..

Great job all around on this build and will be looking forward to your next build ..

Although the work here is superb, I can tell you as a former armor crewman that a weather-worn (indicating it's spent considerable time in the field and hasn't been back in a motor pool or anywhere else it would have been cleaned up) tank is unlikely to have all its external kit. It falls off, is broken and discarded, it gets lost, it's stolen by other crews who need a particular bit of kit, and, if in combat, is shot off. There are only two times you're likely to see a military vehicle (of any kind) with its complete external kit - when it's first delivered to a unit and when it's ready for an annual general inspection and/or a parade. In use, they and their kit get the sh*t knocked out of them.

Looks totally realistic!! Brilliant work!! But it’s a tank - riding in heavy terrain and war. Nothing damaged at edges or bullethits?? After half year in service on the eastern front in 1943 the tank would be damaged several time or simply be a wreck. 25. Tank Division had no fun at those days. My grandpa served in this unit in the middle sector.

Hi Steven. There are a lot of groups on the dreaded Facebook for modellers, a lot of them are basically just groups to share and receive praise, for improvement I like the scale model critique group, but beware a thick skin and a genuine willing to learn are essential. For online forums (they seem to be dying out ) I used to frequent Armorama a lot and learnt all about airbrushing there long before I even got one. This was a long time ago so now, I have no idea. One of the best things is to experiment. And this can be done on a budget as well, a few good oil colours will get you better mileage than a cheap set, and you can cherry pick a wash or grime from certain manufactures until you find something that works for you. Same with glue and paint. There is lots more out there, I only returned to the hobby four years ago at 27 ( stopped at 18) and with a critical eye and a willing to learn I managed to get to a stage where I am happy, I'll be the first to admit I have tonnes more to learn, but thats the fun of modelling . ( to me anyway ) Take care and thanks for supporting the channel !

Did you ever use some pastels instead of pigments (besides you one of my other hero, Mitko Nikitov, says they stick very well in this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/zm2Isoh9iZiCYKw). They are cheap so I will probably give them a try.
