That is a piece to be very proud of Stik- you did splendid work!! What do the figures look like? Might be interesting to see some life there, but at the same time the tank atop the flag speaks volumes!!

Thanks Jeeves. The figures are the new Trumpeter Soviet Cold War Tank Crew set. I have them built and basically painted if you want to look earlier in the thread.

Lol! Thanks Joe. This was one smooth sailing project. If you ever do try your hand at armor, this kit is a good choice.

Magnificent job Carlos! I also love where you moved the flag. I think figures would enhance an already sensational display.

Thanks Mark. As far as figures go, here is my plan of attack: I did buy a set for this and it will be a shame not to use them. But, this is heading for Nationals with the rest of the AMPS batch and I don’t want some numbnuts judge there to pull it out of the group due to too many figures and IPMS rules. You know how that goes where that has happened to your builds with moving out of intended category. So once it returns from Nationals, I will add figures for use locally and final display.
