Work on the T-34-85 continues. Another first for me is pre shading an AFV, having tried it a couple of times on aircraft with limited success. Also tried post shading for the first time on this one too.

Dammit! Why did I never think of using a rubber band to hold the tracks in place while the cement set?

Album info

Definitely working out of my comfort zone here. I haven't built any 1/35 scale kits for a few years, yet alone built a diorama. I usually build shiny things in 1/25 and 1/24 in bright Pearl colours ?
Anyway, I've started with Airfix's T-34/85 which has been nice to assemble, I believe it's a reissue of the Hasegawa kit. It's ready for paint, so I'll be trying some new techniques with shading and weathering.
How big the diorama grows, or how much of my stash goes into it isn't known yet, but we'll see. As they say, "Baby steps first!"
