1945 WWII Soviet IS-2 Detail Build

[PainlessWolf]

A little over five months from receipt of this tank on Christmas Eve and it is complete ( for now since they never seem to be completely done ) Paint is by Taigen\Torro and me and I will include the link to the Build Post: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=27175
Pics: ( Click to Enlarge ) A video will hopefully be up on the Tube tonight.

A magnificent beast, Painless, and presented with style-as ever-on this, the Tankwalk. (The armour version of 'catwalk' )
I can imagine this causing chaos in the German ranks, when crashing through East Prussia, or when crunching masonry in the battered and forlorn suburbs of Berlin...

Roy!
Many thanks! This was one where Taigen had me scratching my head as to what to do to improve upon it. ( by my standards anyway ) I rebuilt the front spare tracks and mounts using metal tracks and wound up with something that looked almost exactly like what they had there ( just more weighty and realistic in use ) to begin with. The MGs were a welcome add on and giving the marker lights a little shine helped some. Figures, tarps, sound and a little detail paint touch up pretty much wrapped it up. I looked outside to see about doing a video tonight and a monster rain storm is rolling down the valley with some cold temps riding in front of it. I'll give that a shot again tomorrow.
regards,
Painless

Western storms rolling in is always an awesome sight.

Good evening,
The valley we live in is surrounded by the Rockies, the Wet Mountains, the Sheeps and the San Juans so we have some interesting weather. ;o)

You have your very own 'micro-climate', Painless, as we do up here in the Torridon Mountains. I expect a lightning rod's a good investment, and there must be times when you have to batten down the hatches (and not just on the tanks )

Good afternoon,
The weather is not cooperating ( even after I went and raked out an area of the future Tank Village this afternoon ). To fill in, I did a new countertop short and posted it up. Here is the link along with the Title Pic. Enjoy!

Good morning,
*bows* Thank you! I try to keep it interesting. Sitting here this morning thinking about what to build next. Got a couple of upgrades slated for a Panther and a King Tiger, couple of trucks I have been collecting parts for and a closet full of RC tanks both rtr and kits waiting for building. A couple of big arty pieces too. Good to have choices. ;o) See you at the work space then!
regards,
Painless
