1/35 Dragon (DML) Su-85M

[Mike]

I went out this morning and took some pictures of my SU-85 as the weather here is overcast and that's good picture taking weather lol I also managed to spook my local Deer family as I walked over to my favorite stump lol. Apologies were made and we all went about our business in peace. I haven't mowed my lawn at all this year and the Deer have been bedding down here a lot lately. I am glad I don't live in an HOA or this wouldn't be possible. We all know how HOA's typically feel about an unkempt yard lol.

Anyways, I have some lovely shots that I truly wish I had figures to include. I also felt I needed some shots of my Easy Eight diorama which I will post in the appropriate area as soon as I finish posting here.





















Please feel free to point out anything. Criticism is not unwelcome to me.

I like it! The grimy road wheels and tracks along with the weathering on the hull look right at home in the outdoor shots.

Thanks, Brent!

looks great Mike. I like the lightly weathered look on this one.

[Mike]

Thank you very much! From what I understand most of these machines didn't have a very long life in the field so under that assumption I thought my weathering should reflect that idea.

Those are some pretty dang spiffy pictures of a well built-up track Mike.

HOA's would have a field day with me as well. I'm in the middle of a tranny swap out on my son's truck.

I always love to see outside photos and really need to drag my stuff outside more often. Beautiful photos here! It looks great.

Very nice looking photos! your 85 looks quite natural there. Next stop comrades, Berlin!

[Mike]

Thank you, all!

Carlos, that's the effect I seem to be gravitating to these days. I do believe I'm getting it right.

How cool is this, the outdoor photos in natural light really make this stand out, nice work.
