discussion 1/87 Scale KV 1 just for fun

[Mini Me]

Started working on the tracks. Did a black/brown wash on wheels and sprockets. Added some small details. Got a little dirt on the lower hull. Started some detail painting. That's it for now, I'm off to my wingy thing job. Rick H.

Great work, what a transformation!

 

[Mini Me]

Did a black wash on everything and worked on track enhancement with colored pencils. located tracks and fixed in final position.

 

[Steven000]

Thanks Gents. I'll be starting on the final phase next, dry brushing, high lighting and last of the small stuff.

Lovely work Rick. That front headlight must have been fun! :smiling2:. Will it be going on a base??

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Steve, I haven't decided yet. I may have some Russian tank riding troops in the stash...Hmmmm.

 

[Mini Me]

Dry brushing completed, installed radio antenna did a little highlighting on the tow cables and did a final wash on the tracks. When dry, I'll get a gloss coat on the turret for decals then seal with dull coat and do the final weathering.

 

[Wouter]

Nice work on this little tank mate

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Wouter, Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Latest update this week. Decals on, soon as they cure will dull coat and start the final weathering when that's dry. Cheers, Rick H.

Wow Rick,

Totally and I do mean totally amazing what you achieve in such a tiny kit. Your scratchy brings it to another level Buddy. I have been looking it over and the only negative point I've found is that the exhaust pipes on the rear deck are 5 degrees too far turned in. They should point more outwards…………………..

I'll get my coat...

 

[Mini Me]

Nice one Allen, you are a quick study! lol:tongue-out3:
Thanks, I'll correct that first thing. Rick H.

p.s. I was waiting for someone to say the decals were crooked. Have no idea what they say...Eat at Ivan's?? Who knows.

 

[Allen Dewire]

No way Rick, I have never seen a Russian vehicle that had straight slogans on it. I was going to ask what it meant as I thought it was "Death to the Facist Bambergers"...……..Still a fantastic build though!!!
