Zack Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Trumpeter KV-1, Tamiya Acrylics, mineral spirit oil wash with no-name oil pigments.Turret #2 is a fictive designation, I wanted to see if I could avoid silvering under the decal using techniques explained here. So this is my first finished kit since 1976.It is a learning exercise, but so far I enjoy the ride My #1 lesson learnt is to get the build and finishing sequence right. Sub assemblies, rust, scratches, dry brushing color modulation, washes etc. My #2 - if your last step is an oil wash - buy good quality pigments! Still learning "!how to operate a camera" and a new lens - not meant as an excuse - just the way things are atm... Happy Modelling!

The_Lancaster Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Lovely effect on the tracks. The KV-1 is a beast of a tank and you've portrayed that well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shermaniac Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well - Thank you fredben Next one up is the Trumpeter Sturer Emil in a fictive "Tropen" scheme. Happy Modelling Zack Welcome back from your hiatus Zack. KV1 to Sturer Emil a quantum jump but a great kit. The Trumpeter KV's are kits that we recommend to all new/returning modellers as they are so straight forward in their build. Take your time with Emil, he's a newer kit and a step up from the KV but based on what you've just done, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
