Plenty of Paper Panzer kits out there to choise from. Can do what ever you like with those. I have a few ideas for when i get round to mine.

RB- Great idea... I have seen tanks with less or no markings at the end of war.  Thanks for posting!

Andy, Bish, thanks. I definitely wanted a late-war look. Still undecided on markings, leaning towards none right now. I want to see what I think after I have the spare tracks mounted and the foliage-securing wire on the turret sides first.

Definitely like what you've done with it. With or without markings! Wink Beer

I think no markings would be nice for this. Sort of gives it that rushed out of the factory look.

Thanks, all. I'm pretty pleased with it myself.......

These pics are as close to finished as I think I've ever posted, all I'm lacking is a commander fig, and once I decide the setting, a base. I went with extra tracks and no foliage wire in the turret since I wanted to leave some unbroken areas on the turret, mainly to give an idea of the immenseness of this thing. Exhaust stacks and extra tracks are finished with pigments and I've added a black pinwash to hatch edges and the access plates on the rear hull area. A few rust streaks were added on the hull cable fittings and some staining at the fuel vent pipes.  Some minor rust was also added under and below the spare tracks on the turret. I've decided to leave it with no markings, thnaks for all the input there also.

And so, without further ado, the pics:

Now maybe a beat-up T34 to pose with it is in in order......

Thanks gents. I think I feel a T34 coming on. I have two that are started, one a later T34-85 and a later T34-76. Not sure which looks more fun at the moment, think I'll find a good example to work from, see what happens. They're both old Tamiya kits with Friuls, and the -85 has the Maquette turret.

Thanks for all the input on this one, it helped!
