Posted by FatFather on 11 Dec 2016, 13:57

Hi,
This is the story about cleaning. The first I've made tank, Russian T-34/85. I've decided to make it in winter camo from January 1945 in Prussia. I fought I have riders. I painted them some times ago. I don't know how, I'e made winter tank and put on this, only for photo riders in lights uniforms. So now, i must made riders in winter uniforms, and russian wehicle in spring/summer/autumn camo... :oops:

The first: idea

I know, that Russians only in temperature -40 C are looking for hats and gloves :-)

Always nice figures those tankriders.
Makes a tank so much more fun to watch.
Well done !

A wonderful tank in winter chamouflage! And the tankriders are wonderful painted too. Nevertheless theirs uniforms doesn´t fit to the perfect winter chamouflage of the tank. No soldier would been stay longer than some minutes on the ice cold tank, sorry!
They fit better to a tank in the warm period or they have to been alternate in winter clothing (Greenstuff!), if you want to create a realistic setting.

Thank you for ypur opinion. I know, that clothes are for warmer time in a year, but I really don't know how, in which moment decided to make winter tank for forgotten winter or summer riders. :oops:
