here is my k-o KV-1 ready to go on a dio that i am build at the momment.

red primer for undercoat, hair spray techneque, then green and I scratched and rub off the green and MIG rust colour added. The skirtig is made of thick toil, bend into place and painted








comment welcome

Gary,
Nice job looks like its been sitting there for years. What kind of dio you butting it into? Also what is toil? I have been trying to figure out how to bend plastic to give fenders a damaged look.

Very nice for a first attempt. The use of the pigments and hairspray technique looks very. Knowing from personal experience that lighting plays a big role on how rust looks in pics there isn't too much to say. The rust looks bright, again maybe due to lighting, and all the same color shade. vary the shades of rust, especially on the tracks, MIG track brown is perfect for that area.
The rusting is too random, although it does look very good application wise. The nooks and recesses would be perfect places for rust to form.
Just my 2cents, and observation. I really do like it, especially for a first it looks pretty darn good. As mentioned, the foil fenders look awesome, nice work.
Looking forward to seeing it in a dio.

Outstanding work.


One small thing... it must have been low on ammo because that would have lifted the turret off the ring.

thanks for the comments.

SAL- sorry supposed to say FOIL, did no read read it before sending article

ROB- the bottom does look a little bright, when i put it on a dio I will use some buff to tone it down

Hi Gary,

Excellent piece of work, very nicely done. Agree a bit bright here and there but it may just be the pics.

Damage looks great, you've put a lot of effort in here and it shows. Not an easy presentation to do by any means, but you've pulled it off well. It should look great in your dio.

Thanks for sharing.
