      I spend from 8hr to about 30hrs or maybe even more on each tank. It's 3rd week now and i still havn't finished the King Tiger but i can't tell how many hours a day i spent. I only model these tanks in work whenever i have some spare time.
      Now.
      Time for the Soviet tanks:

      KV-1 1941 variant (one of my recent ones - very accurate)

                    In a previous life I was a mechanical engineer, In one of the companies I worked I was involved in making the radiator grills/engine covers for the challenger II's. (along with the commode/seat for the driver, ughh)
                    I can tell you now that I instantly recognized the part(s) from this image:

                    http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/download/file.php?id=23168&t=1

                    All I can really remember is that they were very very heavy, were made from alloy stock that had to be kept under lock and key and that even the arc welding rods were rather special. We even had to return any swarf to the 'customer' in a locked container when finished.
                    All this for a radiator grill!!

                    Well done, these are fantastic models. If I may ask, what are your source materials?

                        Thanks for all the comments. As for the source materials - i use reference pictures from sites such as http://www.primeportal.net , http://www.svsm.org . Blueprints, technical data and pictures from Osprey New Vanguard magazines, and also http://www.smcars.net for blueprints.

                          Im blown away. The amount of detail is incredible.

                          How many faces does one of your tanks have? Does it still handle okay in SU?

                            impressive detail, I love seeing models with this level of detail and definition, plus learn a lot from sketchup must know a lot of tanks and mechanical.

                                Really impressive work! While the overall detail is astonishing, I'm really taken by the level of detail in the tracks and bogeys...

                                Cheers!

                                  What a work you've done. Deep in items, one word : awsome. Shareck
                                  Just au suggestion: in order to make them more realistic, you could dirty them with mud, metal oxidation or some hurts...
                                  Maybe using SketchyPhysic you could animate them too! 👍

                                    Pretty amazing modelling imo.
                                    Those tracks look fantastic, I would love to see your method for creating them.

                                          These are mind blowing.

                                          I just wanna play with them, animate them, dirty them, pose them.

                                          Excellent work, I'm truly humbled by you skills, eye for detail and your abundance of patience.
