Mate, I reckon ole Michael Angelo had an easier time on that Chappel he reno'd !!!................staggering stuff.
I would ask what the next project will be once you've done this one, but that might seem a tad pushy.!!

Perhaps after you finish outlining the construction of this outstanding Kv2
you might find it in your heart to share some photos of that equally impressive Stug

I noticed this when you first posted the photos... never asked as I thought someone else would...

but dang... that looks like my kind of scale... and build :D

This is impressive, for me this stug is even better than KW.
Doesn't matter if it's not 100% scratch. Even 51 is enough :)

To be fair to the KV-2 ...it looks rough as a badger now but Im hoping it will clean up nicely.

Once its painted I reckon it should be OK. The larger scales are a bit of a hassle as the flaws show up clearly.....

If Im lucky the sheer mass of it will distract people from the glaring mistakes and rough edges!!

NOw I have to get back to making those stupid stoawage boxes. Anything with a curve is a pain in the a&&.

p
IT'S A TANK :D ...tanks aren't sports cars.....both of yours are outstanding examples of craftsmanship and clever use of materials...if you should ever tire of them lposter.. heck...feel free to ship them over to a rock in the Pacific... where I'll gladly take care of them :D
