And not the "If I want your opinion I'll beat it out of you" or "Does this dress make my a$$ look fat?" kind but an actual off-the-cuff opinion on which model is best suited to the base they're both pictured on. I have a show this weekend and can't decide, and it's making my pretty little head hurt. Keep in mind the base is un-dusted and still glossy, but it's close enough, I think. The pics:     Fire away, shoot from the hip, let loose with abandon, please. |

The Super Pershing looks like it fits more IMHO. The T-34's heavy mud build-up and dirtier appearance seems out of place on the cobblestones and would be better suited in a 'field' setting. Jut my 2 cents.  Good luck at the show! |

I am with Bill! It would be cool if you can apply some dust pigments to the cobblestone to tone it down a bit. That's my two cents...

AHHH! I missed the last sentence that it is still glossy and not dusted... awesome, you are on the right track!

Nope. I like the T34 better. The cobblestones say, "Europe". The T34 says the same. The Pershing I tend to associate with post-WWII.

Looking pretty good! Now the base fits the muddy T34 better... good feedback from guys here.

Thanks Andy. And yup, a little blending really helped.

Well, the T-34 and the IDF Pershing both got 3rds, and in classes with more than three entries, so it's all good.  I'll get some proper gallery pics up soon. |

Thanks, T.
I was kind of surprised the T-34 placed at all, around here it's rare that an oldie does. Seems like local contest judges favor newer, state of the art kits and lots of store-bought accessories over basic stuff, so I feel really good with this one.

Can't argue with those results Russ! Congrats on both placing.

Love that T34! But it does look a little bare sitting on the cobblestone road work. Perhaps five or six tank riders hanging on it might take ones eye off the street, and put it on the tank.
