Coming together






Now to do some work on the chassis and suspension

Alwyn

and here's the tank I used for reference


Alwyn

Most people who have never seen a Russian tank in the flesh would have no idea how rough the castings are, I think that pic reveals the texture though.

It has been a long build, but you got there in the end, excellent job.

Brilliant work Alwyn As the owner of a few Russian tanks in 1:16 scale they are my favourites for sure. The rough casting of the turret has been captured in great detail

We have a gun and mantlet from an IS-2 here in Connecticut and it looks as if someone chipped away at it with a jackhammer and somewhat like the surface of the moon it's so rough and irregular looking.

Great job Mr Turner

Yeah Mr Turner you certainly captured the essence of the rough & ready Soviet hardware.
Ive seen quite a few types in my travels now and they are all very crude & rough.
Great job

Beautiful work, Alwyn. It's amazing how much the surface detail pops once it's all in one colour.

I am now looking forward to your follow-up ISU-152 and IS-3.

It's the LAD meeting tomorrow so I decided to do some final tidy up on the IS2. Here it is with it's turret handrails





Looks much better

Alwyn

Looks fantastic Alwyn!

Wonderful job on the welds AlwynWhile zooming in on the handrails I enjoyed the weld details

Love it! Rough and ready!
