looks like we got about 1/2 of the builds completed. I'm bit disappointed I didn't see more HobbyBos t-34's completed though. Yeah, beens kinda quiet after the inital flurry of activity.

 If it really isn't too late, then here are some pics of my very overdue Tamiya T-34/76.  I was moving along quite nicely until real life, in the form of a new baby girl, got in the way.  My daughter was born in August, and there really hasn't been much time for building since.

I built the kit with the Voyager pe set, and added on some bits and pieces.  Some of the hand holds were replaced, and I used masking tape and some left over 1/35 buckles to hold down the spare tracks.  I painted it in Tamiya acrylics, and weathered it with artist water color washes and Mig pigments.  I'll have to go back and dust up the turret some more.  Some of the sink marks on the tracks still show too.  Comments are always welcome.

Wow that's some seriously nice work Buff, great job Thumbs Up [tup]

My only piece of feedback would be that might want to remove some of the dust from areas heavily trafficked by the crew such as the turret roof, just my My 2 cents [2c]

Cheers

Hey, that looks great. I agree with Darson's comment - I think it would add more interest to the kit with the dirt more concentrated in specific areas.  I do especially like the spare links and the rust in the exhaust. I have never quite got the 'exhaust' look down.

Congrats on your new baby, I'm surprised you had ANY time to build!

Thanks for the feedback and the tips guys.  I appreciate it.  I'm starting to get some time a little more often now, so I should be able to finish it off.
