I am calling this one done. Trumpeter KV-1 complete. This kit was a joy to build. Went together so easily with no issues. Perfect OOTB build.

Hi Rory, looks great, its nice to come across a kit like that, congrats on crossing the finish line.

Looks like a nice clean build Roy congrats
I decided that I didn't like the gray strips so a brush painted over them

Once I get the equipment painted and the weathering on it should look better

Thank you all!

I really enjoy these campaigns. Motivates me to take a box off the shelf and get cracking.

Coming along, waiting for the wood deck and replacement guns.

painting started

I was supposed to post this a few days ago, but somehow I forgot.. Anyway, I'm gonna build Trumpy's E-25 which I'm also building for the yearly contest of my local club. That's double the pressure to finish a kit for once!

Dated entry pic as required.

So guys Im ready to call this one finished

I didnt care for the gray strips so I brush painted over them

Didnt want to go too crazy on the weathering either


Now to make sure I post a photo in the right campaign tread not like I did for the Trumpeter 2 Campaign

Hi Sal, congrats on crossing the finish line. That sure is a unique camouflage.

getting close to completion

Ken that is the benefit of building a what if you can let your imagination flow

I finally finished the KV-220. I wanted to depict it right after the Germans captured it during the fighting near Leningrad in the winter of 41.

Some close ups of the details. This was my first time adding snow to a tank.

Shawn nice build,congrats on finishing

Progress on my build has been slow but in the last few days I managed to get it painted.

It's being delivered to the Marine Corps so I have to get a clear coat on then the decals. Also needs a load out so still a fair way to go.

cheers

Well, A big update, construction is done. I redid the turret footman's loops as I was not happy with the one I did initially.

























Comments are welcomed,

Chris

Good job, Chris.
Looking forward you have some paint on it.

Cheers
Chris

cheers
Michael

Got an update. The Grizzly is coming alone nicely. Paint is done as well as some minor chipping.







Cheers,

Chris

Ah well, stupid photobucket won't let us post links... then it's time to change!

Here are the previous pictures and newer ones (at the end) with the fade and decals done.













Cheers and thanks for looking.

Chris

i have been working again on the BMP and have installed the metal masterclub tracks which i pre-painted as well as adding the side skirts.

I still need to start the weathering process, numerous washes etc but you will get the general idea from the picture below.

If anyone need more time just let me know .

John,
If final date always August 31st, 2017 it should be OK for me.

A little aftermarket: wheels and antennas



Some bolts need to be cut and glued while another bolts are already molded on the vehicle.





Trumpeter do not give cable for the winch. I add one.


A front part of the vehicle with probably the engine ventilation. I have glued a piece of black paper on the back of the part to hide the void.





A first view with the camouflage applied. Trumpeter instructions are wrong about the scheme. I've found pics on the net and in magazines to correct it.
