Weathered Warrior
I found a deal I couldn't refuse... Taigen T34 with all the fixings out of the back of a truck.... literally. The tank was later modified to Tamiya guts with recoil.
It came a pure white wash and I actually "green-washed" it back to a distressed state. The final product has placed in local and regional model contests and is one of my better painting efforts. My daughter named it Snow Monster and I translated that to cyrillic... kind of!
Two projects fell in my lap, the Sherman was quickly re-sold to another and the T34-85 was second hand.
Removed all the existing guts and prepped to add Tamiya components.
Apple will be located in loaders hatch.

Tamiya elevation added.
Good depression
And elevation.
