Thank you, Coen!

Yeah, the bald guy is the rockstar of my buildthread - the guys at my Swedish IPMS love him and he's nicknamed "Crowbar Boris"... :D

Cheers!

Isnt that funny Crowbar Boris gets all the attention? Still, he looks like a total bad ass to me!

Great work Tommy, that scratch built interior is impressive - a high skill set to do that stuff.

Sure are a lot of awesome builds in this GB - and yours is one of the best IMO.

Top class build and dio Tommy. You've nailed the weathering and old baldy looks great! You'll have to use him on your other builds, like a trademark!

A grand model comrade, you should be awarded a medal as a Hero of the Soviet People. A glorious homage to the King of Derp, we need none of your capitalist armour piercing propaganda. 152MM high explosive shells shall lead the Motherland to victory.

Thank you Mark! :)

Yeah, the BL-10..... In WoT I call it the "bipolar gun" - no other gun can send you into total rage because it can't hit sh*t at point blank range or an euphoric state of happiness when a totally impossible shot goes in :lol:

True story there
It has some accuracy problems for sure
But when it hits it does so with extreme force
I have taken down more tier 10 tanks with the BL-10 then with any other tankdestroyer i have
Maybe because i only get placed in tier 9 and 10 games with it
I never had a top tier match with it so far
But i like it ,enough to buy a kit of the darn thing

Yeah, it's a brutal gun.
It's fun to see tier 10 tanks pull back when they see that you are pointing the BL-10 at them. :tongue:

I love the Object 704 - same gun but it has a fairly decent armour so it is possible to tank with that vehicle...
I'm thinking of building the Trumpeter kit #05575 with photoetch and BL-10 metal barrel :dance:

That and being bummed about the crappy matchmaking i have had for who knows how many games
