Thats superb Stian, fantastic looking tank and details, the comrade reminds me of Basil Fawlty :haha:
British forum members should know of him, particularly the episode where he attacks his car with
a tree branch after it breaks down. :thumbup:

regards John :thumbup: :wave:

Excellent Mr Max, I really like in particular the shading/modulation which looks pretty much spot on, as is the weathering. As for the figure painting 8O - well as I pointed out in another thread recently it's my Waterloo for sure. I'm probably better at figure skating than I am at figure painting - and believe me you wouldn't to see that :haha: If I get something near your effort I'd feel like Picasso :D

Been a while since I had the js2 on the table now, but got the recoil sorted today by adding a servo :thumbup:
