LOL, they have been on and off twice.
The defining thing is that the gap in the road wheels is at the front.

No- they are right. The roadwheel gap on the T54 and T55 tanks do indeed go to the front, but the idler wheel has an udulating edge that makes it look like a sprocket - but it isn't. He's got it right!
By the way - great job. Nice looking tanks!

Top notch work!
I agree with the others about the basing (even though I don't prefer bases for vehicles).
I think that you did a masterful job on the weathering!

They actually look a lot better in real life. Then again they are a LOT bigger when the piccies are zoomed to the level that they are.
The forced lighting and the tinkering in picasa has lost a lot of the subtle shadowing/blending from the use of the Army Painter quick shade.
Thanks BTW
