Model maniac, look at how the numbers slant down to the right on the turret rear--they definitely slant downward on the right side. The numbers themself are fine; it's the way they were placed that need correction!

On second look, I think you're right. The number just doesn't parallel with the horizontal line of the rear plate. I'll tell AI to be more careful in the future. Thanks for your comments!

Of course you don't see it.  AI's work is "always perfect" in your eyes.  That is why he can get away with mediocre work and novice mistakes all the time.  You either don't care, or are more interested in quantity than the actual quality of the piece.  But this is nothing new....

Many thanks for all kind comments and suggestions!

dostocos, perhaps I should have a makeshift base onwhich to place stand-alone armor for photography. But then again one base won't fit all, I'll need several bases and they all occupy some space...

telsono, I'll pass on your comments the AI. Thanks!

These are nice works, but Art Instructor keeps on doing a little flaw. I like the amount of mud and the texture he uses, but it should be applied after he paints the camo scheme, not before it.

Very nice, model maniac--but I have to agree with Dre that the numbers on the back of the Pz IVG are strangely askew. That's a pretty basic mistake; I would definitely point that one out to the builder.

The KV is pretty nice, and the paint is well done on both! 

Many thanks for your kind compliments! I really appreciate them!

dostocos, this is a finished work, not a WIP. A.I. has built several dio's with KV-1 already.

TD4438, this is a Trumpeter kit. I think there have been more than half a dozen of KV-1 variants released by Trumpeter.

Please stay tuned. I'll present a new page and more armors later today. ;-) 

I agree, the KV looks sweet as fella.

love the decal work on the KV1! overall I like them both, I prefer dioramas or vignettes therefore I consider this a WIP
