I was actually going to paint some zee Germanz winter infantry from Foliescu's line (which is brilliant) but last week I was asked to paint something for local painting contest. The overall theme was 80th anniversary of liberating Elblag from under German occupation (just to make it clear: Poland was "liberated" by soviets, so you can imaging the rest).
Because of this event there's been organised 2-weeks painting / wargaming course in local library, with friendly tournament and painting contest to crown it all.
Anyway the challenge has been accepted but since I don't play Germans nor Soviets my options were rather limited. While digging through my resources I've found IS-2 heavy tank which was part of prize-loot for other painting contest 🤪
As mentioned earlier I don't play Soviet army but from what I was told in battle of Elblag Germans also used some captured vehicles, so I imagine it surely is one of them. Wasn't sure about the markings but I was pretty sure the crew would't like to be taken as Soviet unis from afar so markings were applied on each side of vehicle plus it got a flag on the hull just in case some lost Stuka decided to pay a visit...
I do not like to work fast with painting (and this was surely hasty paintjob for my standard) but I like the final result. Italeri's stuff is always tops. The commander is metal piece from Warlord's set, but I think as professional he doesn't mind driving Soviet wheeler. To glory!
Yup - from above it surely ain't soviet tank ^^
And some enthusiastic US tank hunters for the scale:
Fajnie ubrudzony i ośnieżony czołg!
ReplyDeleteDzięki!
DeleteJakiś czas temu zorientowałem się, że jak pojazd nie tonie w błocie to finalnie wygląda znacznie lepiej 😁

ReplyDeleteDzięki, to Citadel Valhallan Blizzard czy jakoś tak - pasta modelarska. Można ją rozwodnić tak, że gładko się nakłada na większych powierzchniach. Kiedyś przypadkiem dostałem w zamówieniu - zdecydowanie dobra pomyłka.
Deleteznam ją, ale używałem jej bardziej zagęszczonej, podoba mi się ten rozwodniony efekt, będę musiał wypróbować
DeleteW ogóle coś się wysypało i nie dostaję ostatnio powiadomień z bloggera, więc jak nie odpisuję to dlatego że nie widziałem komentarza, a nie bo jestem bucem co nie odpowiada. Just sayin'
Deletespoko, ja dostaje a i tak nie odpisuje, bo jestem bucem co nie odpowiada :D
DeleteO, znów nie dostałem - ale zajrzałem na wszelki wypadek... 😊
