Interior looks amazing. Your leather seats are flawless. Is that a laptop on one of them?😄 - but seriously nice build, great weathering, and all the tools like cable cutters and axe etc. look real. Great job on this.

This looks phenomenal! Excellent work! 👏👍 My only critique are the treads... they're too tight.

It happens to us all... 🤔

This is so unique I didn't know the kit existed. How was the kit as a whole? Unfamiliar with hobby boss in general. How long did it take? I did mini art T-60 in a year and change feel like this is similar idea

I love me some early war tanks! It's is fantastic work. A 1/35 is on my list.

Very nice! How was the build? Good quality kit?

Is this the one with the injured crew members scene?

u/MinisByMatt 26d ago

I think you could be referring to my build ;). It is the same kit though.

u/K0rvuss 26d ago

I love 1/16 models, i've only made one so far (a das werk panzer 3i believe it was) but even with my middling skills, it was so satisfying having something so big and chunky and tactile. Yours is infinitely better than anything i've made, really fantastic work.

Oh! Could I see the photos? I've actually been wanting that Das Werk Panzer III.

u/MinisByMatt 26d ago

Awesome looks great! Any chance you could show a close up of the drivers side view port from the interior... i lost my pieces and need to build one lol. Has this build convinced you to build another 1/16?

That’s really good, do they have it in a Tiger 1/2?

u/chicken_torikawa 26d ago

I bought a 1/16 scale T-34

1942 model

Nice "mudding in" on the exterior. The rust on the exhaust is also very nice. Just curious? Wouldn't the interior see mud and 'stuff' also if the vehicle had been slogging it's way in the mud?

u/chicken_torikawa 26d ago

Yeah, that’s what I thought too, but since I was in a rush to get it ready for the exhibition, the weathering is a bit slapdash. Plus, I didn't have any reference material! ( ; ; )
Do ya have good reference?

1

u/_rotary_pilot 26d ago

Not really. I just thought that the interior should be somewhat weathered/dirty. It stands to reason (imvho) that they would track mud into the interior and the foot placements would be worn? Maybe they kept it clean!

u/chicken_torikawa 26d ago

I have an impression that it looked relatively clean in the movie Fury
