Re: SAMOKHODNAYA USTANOVKA-152/KV14 RENOVATORS DREAM!
Thanks for the gracious words folks.
As can be seen by the entry into TOTM, Ive called it done(if any of these things we do are ever really done)
The project was an over all blast to carry out, sure had its moments, but dont they all eh
While not "Mcq11 Perfect" ,I reckon its a fair representation of one of the most well known breakthrough weapons of WW2.
I seem to have a 'thing' for Assault Guns/Tank destroyers............they can be made rough as railway station toilet paper, yet still be right.
Now on the prowl for another T.D./Assault Gun to do in the future.
Thanks for checking in and all the assistance, advice & comments

Re: SAMOKHODNAYA USTANOVKA-152/KV14 RENOVATORS DREAM!
In keeping with the Russian theme, I have a project plan to do one of these :
Wont be straight away, but I have the tank, and am gathering parts & info for the "accessory" !!
I was looking at a version just after the Seelow heights, but before the final battle for Berlin, but meh, I think its been done
Although, the version I had in mind was similar to this...............looted gear on the rear.

Re: SAMOKHODNAYA USTANOVKA-152/KV14 RENOVATORS DREAM!
Folks, in order to properly complete this, I'm after an image that I can use as a "portrait" picture to place on the side or rear of the machine.
I have had the luck to get some perfect examples of A.H. images that I used on my Bedspring T34 build & diorama, but I cannot for the life of me find similar images of Stalin in the size that suits.
Can anyone help a Comrade out !?

Herman,
You may want to check with xhelfix. I believe he has a picture of "Papa Stalin" on a Su-122 some months back in a TOTM contest?
Cheers,
Eric.

Yes indeed, that's what I want to replicate.
Lots of images around, but most with watermarks or way too big.

Re: SAMOKHODNAYA USTANOVKA-152/KV14 RENOVATORS DREAM!
Herman,
I guess you could always buy an old postage stamp of Stalin without a postmark on it. Given that it's old it should already be "aged' looking. It would be roughly the right scale. Then glue it on some sturdier stock and with your woodworking skills build a frame for it?! You can also search for "dollhouse picture frames", I found a ton of them from different dealers like Etsy. They appear to come in different sizes and styles. All of it should be pretty cheap (except maybe shipping). Just some thoughts while I'm puffing on a cigar in weather that's close to 50 degrees warmer than a week ago at this time!
Regards
Eric.

Re: SAMOKHODNAYA USTANOVKA-152/KV14 RENOVATORS DREAM!
Thanks so much to all of you for the road-signs to images of Uncle Joe.!!
Amazing how many images are copyright'd or watermarked, or, uploaded in such a way as to be impossible to copy & print let alone resize
The dude's been dead for decades..................let it goooooo
I have a selection from all sources(except for postage stamps $$!!) that should do.
All from 1943 so they are also period accurate.
Now the framework & fitting to the side
(Sorry 'General, I have to finish this too)
