Description: A T34/85 at end of the 44/45 winter.

Judge 1: Very beautiful model. The rough weathering is very good. Just suggest using some pin washes to pick-out the detials a bit more as the camo hides alot of the details. The top rung of trakcs is a bit too "straight" and could use some slight sag between the retrun rollers. Very good though!
Judge 2: A good build with a dramatic finish. The whitewash looks nice and scruffy, but some of the other weathering effects are a little crude - the rust streaks from the grab handles and stains on the fuel tanks for example.
Judge 3: Good improvements on turret. Scruffy and deteriorated whitewash looks good around turret number, but on the rest of vehicle needs more variation. Some darker wash in recessed details and controlled application of filters would help. Needs more dirt on the wheels.
