December TOTM submission, now voting thread.

[Son of a gun-ner]

Hello TOTM fans

Time for another showcase of modelling masterpieces.
This month, you will be in for a double treat, because I will be running a Christmas Special to vote on at the same time as this one.

Therefore it's time to dust off those shelf queens, and enter up to eight visual representations of your preferred model.

As always, we look forward to seeing what the new month brings.

The dedicated chat thread can be found here.

Lot of work detailing a tank that has no details on it!!
I really should add a tiny bit of dust & rubble to it to make it 100% complete, but its close enough to have a shot at TOTM.

I think this winter month deserves a winter tank.

This is my Panzer IV, an old one but I keep updating it constantly. Build and more pics here: https://radindustries.wordpress.com/202 ... r-iv-zorn/

It is a Tamiya tank with every upgrade you can think of. Being one of the best mods the electronics inside, a Beier SFR 1 HL, using 16 channels, SBUS, with LOADS of voice commands, sounds, music, artillery strikes, radio chatter, marches and more.

It also has hand made zimmerit, bearings in the wheels, gearbox brace, smoke, working lights which include short and long beam, notek, convoy, interior lights, two machine guns and more.
