Well here's Uncle Joe, 2 options, now to do the fit up & see how each of them look.
One is in colour, with a sheet of clear plastic over the image, the other in black& white is paper exposed in the frame.
Not sure which is going to be the final version, will need to try them & see.

Very nice Herman,

I like both, but I think the color version has my vote. I like the "old school" color to it. Looks very period IMHO!

Cheers,
Eric.

I’ve test fitted both..........
And honestly don’t like either on it!! :/
I suspect because there is already a lot going on with the finished exterior, that adding the portrait clutters it.
Not sure

OOh! That second one, Son of a Gunner, makes the head spin. :O I don't know whether to applaud the propaganda art or hide in horror. 8O Wow! What a choice that would be. Do you know what the caption says?

Stalin’s kindness illuminates the future of our children!

I've just found out that poster is sadly from 1947 :thumbdown:

That's nice of you Mr Gunner, but what that translated missive ACTUALLY means...................not one step back or I will take all your children to Gulag !

That said, it does NOT say............."place my image on all armoured killers of beasts even if it looks crap "
:shh:

Its on the right hand side of the casemate, towards the front.
Im looking at it deciding if it will stay.
Hmm, I might try it on the T34 Bedspring & see if that works better. :think:

Yes, comply or your children will never see daylight again, is nearer the truth.

How about cropping that picture to just show his head?
