Goliath 303 & Anti-Tank Dog
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 10:28 am
I got this last week and when I opened the box I was astonished!
The Goliath was so well made, so detailed I was taken back and marveled at the crisp detail
Painting it was not "hard" but was a bit time consuming due to the fact that the tracks do not roll and cannot be removed so a long sharp brush was used to get in to all those tight little areas. It reminded me of painting 1/72 armor in that regard. I first shot it with primer and then German Army Grey, then white wash, then painted the tracks, the a dark brown wash, then the mud and rust detail, then shot it with model master dull coat to seal it all in. Used a flower stem wire (paint-able) for the wire and scratch made the controller and strap.




I thought what better to go with the Goliath than the Soviet Goliath! So I made one from scratch!!

Yes! the feared Soviet Anti-tank Dog!!

I coudn't resist a reunion of these two great weapons and how well they symbolized the entire war!
The over engineered high tech Germans vs the cold blooded overly simplistic Soviets..

Their all friends now

In fact "Heinz" lets "Ivan's" dog chase his tank!!

Thanks Guys, hope you enjoy my brand of insanity
