Over the hill of no return... yet Far away from the finish.... as the adventure starts once again from the beginning

As KV-1 is transformed into KV-2... the major hurtle thrust upon has been conquered... thus an adventurous prequel... now turns into the creation ... The monster.."GIGANT" :D

It's monstrous head... finally affixed and fully operational...viewing to and fro any would be foe


Guns up guns down.... enemies all around... awe at it's roaring sound


Shed the armor once upon wore... no longer needed... so they are no more



Now focused eye... and billowed trumpet...hounds thus call.....then light the midnight sky


Hollowed vents..lifeless..no smoke to be seen.... worry not solution serine


That's it my friends ..... that's it for now....the adventure begins :thumbup:

Good Morning,
This build is really coming into focus, Alpha. It is so cool to see it assembled and am anticipating your detail work leading up to paint.
regards,

She's like a brand new baby straight from the box now...kind of like ten steps forward.... thirty steps back :haha: ...but I'm loving every minute of it now... as now after I do a little work... I can start her up and play :D

Life's little rewards :D

Have a good one Painless

Hey palepainter... be careful if you plan on removing those armor plates ...they have enormous holes hidden underneath....I think it's so the sound can come out... but dang... they were huge 8O .... most people here know I don't like to use fillers... so what I did was to sand the stripped armor... cut them into puzzle like pieces... and fit them into the holes left in the Hull.. then with super glue ...sand and smooth the surfaces....What was a good thing HENG LONG did... was they actually recessed the area from the inside of the hull... so once the pieces were fit in... they were pretty flush from both sides :D

I was going to take pictures ... but I was too into it and didn't want to stop lol

By the way palepainter... I don't think she will be as detailed as yours... I don't usually go that far...but hopefully she will be presentable :thumbup:

No problem.... I wish someone let me know before I took mine off... not that it would have changed anything... but those holes were a huge surprise :O ... :haha:

Good Evening,
When I do my Capture KV-2 build, I'm just going to leave them on. Heck, I'll leave the headlight and rear machine gun too. I will add the Notek light too because the driver of that baby needs all the light they can have at night. ;o)
regards,
