Back to the turret again to finish it




1/35 vs 1/16

[maxmekker]

Adding dust and dirt, slowly building up layers





Stump and blend with WS

[maxmekker]

Adding dust and small debris along the fenders, one part at the time. Loosly adding it, placing it with a smal brush, then semi fix it and 'wash' it out with some white spirit, then when dry , add a dropp of pigment fixer

Moving along . Oil drum with bullet holes. Oil spill and smal tarp covering a track link.

Some overall shots of the turret,dust (pigments + WS )and splatter ( AK dark mud) , streaks(AK streaking Grime) Not going to over do it , so I'm calling it pritty much done(MG needs to be painted though, and I might add a few more rust streaks )

Hmm, I thought about do like I have seen others do on KV2 turret, like on IS, white ( worn) band, but I tink I'll leave it as it is now.


Nearing the end, but still I wanted to add a few bit's more. The big fenders has so much space, I must resist adding to much stuff , ore I 'll never be able to wrap this build. Now do tell if I've overseen anything you think should be done / added thanks

0,6 mm Steel wire. 'Home' made burning fluid. and some AK track pigment.

To break things up a little I desided to do one of the toolboxes in a worn Winter state. Normal procedure were done , hairspray, tamiya white thinned, and warm water.
after, light washes and mud splashes were added to both





Some more vegitation were also added
