The model is basically built out of the box. I used some Gunze Sangyo Mr Surfacer to add cast texture to the turret; Acrylic Impasto medium for the weld beads; and wire to replace the grab handles and (very disapointing moulded on) lift hooks.
The DS tracks are OK to work with, but lack the stepped shape characteristic of the prototype. Link and length track would have provided a better rendition.
I found the external fuel tanks difficult to clean up, but I can't see a way around the problem except for more practice on my part.
The model was painted primarily in Vallejo acrylics with a brush.

Wow!
That looks fantastic! Do you plan to post any of your earlier works on here, or is the T34-85 going to be the first of a new series of figurines and models on this page?
Is that the plan? To publish most of your models and miniatures from now on? I think that would look great.
The plan is to post some of my older stuff as well. I'll probably do it in little nibbles rather than one big bite though
