ISU-152 [USSR WWII]
Italieri/Zvezda 1/35
Completed Nov 2000

This kit is one of my favorites.  It was probably my first really decent kit, and made me feel like a solid intermediate modeler.  The photos don't do this kit justice.

I built it up almost straight out of the box.  I hollowed out the headlight and covered it with the clear lens from a doll googly-eye trimmed to shape.  I also replaced the superstructure grab handles with brass wire.

I painted the kit with Model Master enamels and applied a "dry wash" and weathering with pastel chalks around detail areas.  I ditched the kit decals and instead hand painted the markings with artist oils.  While these were drying, I accidentally blotted one side with a rag and realized it gave me a great worn paint effect, so I left it!
