I got this T-34 already started... there where some parts missing and some minor building mistakes !!!
For the mistakes I just unglued the parts using a scalpel and brute force !!! The missing parts I cannibalize from the T-34 from tamiya but before I made silicon molds so I can later reproduce those parts!!!

After a lot of sweat it went to the painting booth and came out like this ....

(Vallejo Model Air "Russian green" , Highlights using base color + Vallejo modelcolor "Flat Yellow" + "white")

Protecting the model and smoothing out the colors has well has getting the surface ready for decals I applied a coat of Future !!!

Great job Pedro, looking very nice! Really like the highlights, they really give it depth and the varnish brings the colours together nicely.

Looks good buddy.

One thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that the highlights are in very specific places. I.E. the hatches, are highlighted, yet the flat turret roof isn't...

Just looks a tad unnatural why the round rear hull hatch is highlighted, but not the rest of the rear hull plate? Paint work is awesome and neat though!

Highlighting or post shading is a difficult technique. You are traveling on a road less traveled, my friend. Nice job! I agree with Gav, adding more highlight to other areas will break away the contrast. Model on! :thumb1:

That's going to look really nice when it's done Pedro. You got all the colours right on.
It's just the highlighting that needs a bit of touch up, easy to fix.
Those decals sat down really nice, what did you use to seat them?
