Ingvar,
Those are very kind words. I learned from one of the best ever, Shep Paine.
Thank you
Excellent scratch building.

Mech, MANY THANKS
This is a massive turret update. A couple of days ago I foolishly thought I was ready to paint the turret. I WAS WRONG. There were HORRIBLE flaws. So I went back and removed most of the details, sanded the heck out it and started anew.

That looks exactly the business, clunky casting. Perfect to my eyes, bravo!
Dio,
Many thanks. And you sir hit the nail on the head. I think we, (modelers), want to build the “perfect” kit. And the truth is that there are no perfect builds. Russian armour during the Great Patriotic War was designed to last one MAYBE two fuel fill-ups. Not for perfection like German Engineers tried for. Thus the kit, regardless of the scale had better have some flaws. A concept that “seems” to be missing at the competition level. The T-37a was a prewar design, and already obsolete when the war broke out. So her construction won’t be as drastic as war production

Working on the first steps of weathering after painting. I am very happy with the brass MG it was difficult to fashion

More details. I took small details for granted when I was a 1/35th builder. I have come to appreciate and at the same time loathe all the details available for the conventional builder. But that’s my “twist”.
