The ammount of highlights will be toned down by later weathering.

For being my first handpainted russian markings they came out ok... yet I´m not completely satisfied, but it will do 🙂

Initial weathering was applied using oils to enhance contrasts
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/3/9/4/717394-33587-54-720.jpg)
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/3/9/5/717395-33587-95-720.jpg)
the fenders recieved some brown oil-dots which I then blended using stippling motions
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/3/9/6/717396-33587-68-720.jpg)
Before mounting the wheels I used the specklng technique and two different mud effects to give at least the illusion of textured dirt.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/3/9/7/717397-33587-22-720.jpg)
Around the turret ring I specificially painted some paint-spills to further enhance the illusion of the markings being painted in the field
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/3/9/8/717398-33587-46-720.jpg)
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/3/9/9/717399-33587-82-720.jpg)

![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/4/0/1/717401-33587-26-720.jpg)
Then I used a dark pinwash to give some more depth to the model. At this point, the cast turret sides really start to stand out.

![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/4/0/8/717408-33587-74-720.jpg)
Well well... now we need some scratches to make it a "real" T-34 🙂
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/7/6/8/717768-33587-12-720.jpg)
Finished some scratches using a two stage chipping method and a very fine brush.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/7/6/9/717769-33587-63-720.jpg)
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/7/7/0/717770-33587-15-720.jpg)
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/7/7/1/717771-33587-37-720.jpg)
Now we need some nice rust on the exhaust as well as some dust, dirt and grease on the fenders an engine deck.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/7/7/2/717772-33587-58-720.jpg)
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/7/7/3/717773-33587-23-720.jpg)
I´m planning to attach only two of the three fuel drums and to make the vehicle more unique with some baggage and a very Russian log on the right side 😉
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/4/3/9/718439-33587-57-720.jpg)
I put some rainmarks as well as some mud over the lower parts of the vehicle
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/4/4/0/718440-33587-76-720.jpg)
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/4/4/1/718441-33587-86-720.jpg)
I the end I decided to only add one fuel drum, but there will be other accessories
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/4/4/2/718442-33587-52-720.jpg)
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/4/4/3/718443-33587-74-720.jpg)
Tracks are nearly finished now. Just some light polished steel parts remain to be added
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/4/4/4/718444-33587-96-720.jpg)
The rear deck will recieve some spills of oil/fuel. There will be leaks on the fenders where the fuel drums formerly sat.
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/4/4/5/718445-33587-83-720.jpg)
I used Millipuut to create a bag that will be fitted to the side of the tank. Additionally, I found a spare unditching log and painted it up to take the place of the two fuel drums on the right side

Thx 🙂 Finally came to painting the vehicle, but I am not 100% confident about the hanpainted inscriptions :/

That's a great looking build, and useful photo album. I havent got a t 34 to build yet but it's got to be on my list for the future.

Thank you 🙂 The T-34 is definetly a subject for more than just one build. At the moment I´m actually thinking about building another one, but a T-34/76 with the UZTM turret...

Sweety sweety, think these techniques could be useful on some of my soviet tanks too. (P.S. Do build another one!)

Appreciate your comment 👍 I actually habe a little T-80 Light Tank in stash waiting to find it's way into a diorama

Album info
See the projects description for some thoughts of mine on this one 🙂
Btw, some might find that there is a real vehicle I used as a loose inspiration for the inscriptions, however I made mine way more gnarly and field-apllied-ish... if you can call it that way.
