Here are a few pictures of some of my GHQ T-34/85s. I recently acquired these back from a friend as part of a trade for some commission work. I painted these for him around 12 years ago. Some of the antennas have gotten mashed down a bit. I will have to replace them at some point.

Always good to see your work, Cap'n Pete! Excellent as ever!

That second photo shows the edge highlighting, the shading and whatever is the term applied to putting a lighter colour into a panel…..I have heard it. I try to do it in 1/72, when not swamped with Waterloo work. Not as good as this. Stick an 85mm gun onto a T34 and you think God help the enemy. But yet, a kid with a hand held Panzerfaust and a will to die for the Fatherland could take out the first one, at least. Or a mine could blow off a track. Or the optics let you down. These do look almost unstoppable…almost.

The paint jobs look to have held up well these past dozen years too! Expert work Pete.

Thank you all very much, Raynman, deadhead, and FlyXwire. I really appreciate it. FlyXwire, these T-34/85s were painted back during the time I was painting some of the models for GHQ. I know that during that time I really tried to step up my game for painting these things. It has been an evolution for sure over the last 35 years or so.
