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.!!
Out F'n standing mate.

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

DUDE!....that is still some outstanding work.... I cannot believe that you did all that with simple hand tools..the result is simply breathtaking
I see some others who work with metal...but they have complete machine shops... your stuff is simply awe inspiring
Thank you for sharing lposter

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&&.

IT'S A TANK
...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
