A New Milestone!

Recommended Posts

I am pleased to announce that after finally finishing all eight of my T-34's which are shown here in this post, I have achieved a new milestone. These eight T-34's have brought my count up to 600 completed small scale armor models!

 

And now, here they are!

 

These first three are all T-34/76 mod 1940 tanks. They are all the same kit from Dragon; I'm not even sure how I managed to get three of the same kit. The two with the red writing and red stars are going to go to my wargame army.

And those are my numbers 593 to number 600!

 

 

These are numbers 601, 602, and 603:

 

Number 601, the German SdKfz 13 scout car:

Okay, those are all the models I've finished in the last two weeks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed working on them. I especially feel good about achieving that milestone.

 

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome!

Dude...I mean Duke...you are a mad man! 600 built models and that's just ARMOR???? Congrats x2.

 

Oh, and I believe that T-34 turret you refer it as cast is actually PRESSED! I think they had a 5000 ton press at the Formchaka plant and they used it to press the turret shells. Which I find incredible.

Congratulations, that's quite a milestone to attain. Have you thought about doing a photo shoot starting with some of your earlier works and compare them to some of your later efforts to show some sort of evolution of your skills?

Thanks Mark!

 

Thanks Mike! Someday I'll get a count of all the other models I've built so I know how many I have completed altogether.

Thanks also for the info on those pressed turrets. That is impressive! I used the term 'cast' because that's what Dragon had on their box and instruction sheets.

Thanks Rob! That is a good idea, although I have to see what models I can use for comparisons. Some of my older ones I pulled down and improved with the new skills I learned. Still, that is brilliant. Once I start having a little more time on my hands again, I'll start that little project.
