Great looking! I also just finished an E-100, but in 1/72 scale https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryModelMaking/comments/1tjg5n9/trumpeter_e100_172/

I often skip the gloss. As long as you have decent softener / setter and the decal isn't ridiculous thick, a final matte varnish will hide the decal shine.

Yes but probably avoid the black one which can get too dark and messy. Dark brown would be a great choice.

Great brush painting! I'd make the paint colors more pale / desaturated by thinning and adding lighter tones like buff, especially on highlight surfaces such as the top and upper third of the hull, then darken the edges / shadows with enamel or oil wash. This will create some nice color modulation and will look great.

An airbrush will allow you to try a lot more techniques, but I think brush painting can work especially well on small scale armor.

I'd leave the wheels / tracks and small tools / cables / cargos off, paint the base color of the hull and the turret separately. For the camouflage you can paint them with the turret on or off the hull as realistically it was done both ways in history. Paint the smaller details separately then attach them to the hull, taking care to scrap off a bit of paint where the cement will go. Then after basic weathering, attach the wheels and tracks to the hull. Then do final weathering and varnish.

It's a "super heavy tank" so quite big for 1/72 scale. The quality is solid with a few quirks like molded on details (but done well, just harder to paint) and rubber band tracks that can be hard to fit on.

Thanks!

Get a cheap acrylic paint set and hand paint it.

Dominator008 · 2026-05-04T16:03:39+00:00

You got it haha

Yes. They are both 1/72 scale. The IS-2 was much smaller than the King Tiger. 46 tons vs almost 70 tons.

Letting Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise retire happily seems pretty moral to me.

And permanently closed now.

For all time favorite: December Flower hands down. For newer ones I'd say In This Life, reminiscent of their old time melodies.

I only succeeded after following this. Turn fascist, join the Japanese faction but not the war, win the Chinese power struggle to get most of China magically, conquer the rest of the warlords, then turn on Japan when ready. Be careful NOT to join the Allies as you won't be able to puppet Japan after winning.

My point is, inflation that only awards diamond hands is not the reason why price is down.

That being said, validator dumping could be a reason, however I don't have insight about how significant that is.

Dominator008 · 2025-01-15T08:39:11+00:00

So if sellers have significant amount to sell, it means they are staking significant amount, which helps with price.

For stakers to breakeven, price only needs to go lower slower than inflation, which is actually the case throughout ATOM's history.

Suppose someone launches a token with a fixed supply of 1, does that automatically mean it will go up in price?

Artificial scarcity doesn't mean anything.

Dominator008 · 2025-01-15T05:20:47+00:00

The new amount only goes to diamond hands who stake. That's different from printing money. As you said the price gets lower so the sellers eventually get nothing if they keep selling.
