Great job again.

Any special reason you included the tankers? I haven’t noticed you including personnel in most armor builds.


Thanks. As for the crew, I just decided to include them. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. Just whatever mood hits me.

You’re really damn good at these Darth. Enjoy them all. Great talent and patience to do these as regularly as you do.

Very nice Darth, I have no idea how you build and paint these so quickly, but you do. Another excellent build.

Thanks. I’m glad you like them. This is why I do these threads. I’ve already started the next installment. This one may take a bit longer though. On this IS-2, I was able to dedicate most of the nights this past week to building because it was pageant week at my daughter’s school and my wife and her were at practice every night. Now I’m back to Saturdays & Sundays.

Normally this kit would have taken about three weeks or a month. But I was able to work on it each night this week except last night.

Wow, I can hardly believe you didn’t have plans with friends every night.

purposely chose to do this one in Polish markings instead of Russian to not offend some.

That’s pretty fricking lame dude

It’s a joke, dude. I did it in the Polish markings because I liked the markings. If I was really worried about offending people I would not have posted this SU-76 only a month or so ago.

That seems pretty absurd.

Excellent work as always.

I imagine the lack of an intricate camo paint job helped with the speed in this one too.

Go for it.

Do you paint full armies? Which faction(s)?

Are you trying to say I have no friends? If so, why? You don’t know me or anything about me. Have I done something to offend you to make you try to insult me? Or are you just naturally rude for no reason?

I went back and highlighted your stupidity.

Youre welcome.

Very true. It did indeed speed up the process. Allied vehicles tended to simply be painted green with no camo. There were some exactions like the winter camo I painted on the Soviet SU-152 I did last year. But for the most part they just painted everything OD green. That’s one reason I tend to stick with German vehicles. They camouflaged their vehicles starting in 1943. I like painting camo patterns.
