I needed to do something different to off set the "Smart kit" syndrome so I looked through some of my books and thought of some of the models out there and came up with this one. I am using the Zvezda T-34/76 as the base kit and the Maqutte T-34 1940 kit for its early wheels and link to link tracks. Both kits did not cost that much and the Zvezda kits is not a bad model. On the other hand the Maquatte kit is only good for some of its parts. I will be building the tank seen from the Squadron T-34 book since the Zvezda kit comes with the exact decals to match.

| Painting the Figure | Aug 15, 2006 |
| I have begun to paint the figure. It was undercoated first, then pained with oil paints. The photo on the left shows the first layer of paint on the jump suit/helmet and some pre shading on the face. The photo on the right shows highlights added which will be blended next with a soft clean brush. At that stage I will add into the paint some powdered pastels to make the uniform look dirty. I will use the same colors as use to weather the tank. The pastels blend into the paint with a very subtle effect. |
