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"...

Cheers!

Ahahahaha!
That's awesome!

Wow, wonderful work on this Tommy! The finish and weathering looks great and the tracks really look awesome on this beast!

Really love this kv2. Definitely king of derp.
your weathering is spot on

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.

Yes! That's really awesome, Tommy! Very, very nice dio! I love the way you added tons of detail from scratch! Jens

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, pourquoi61 !


Tommy

aah, the kv-2......
scary isn't she?
well build there and love the worn winter camo

Yeah, it was a scary tank for the Finns or Germans in the beginning of the WWII.

That is a very nice derp machine Tommy
Not really the king of derp though ,the ISU-152 with the BL-10 still claims that spot
But the KV-2 most defently belongs in that list

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

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.

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

I haven't reached that one yet
It takes a long time to research that Object and i haven't played much lately as the Division kind of took over
That and being bummed about the crappy matchmaking i have had for who knows how many games
