Big and Beefy gave me the reason for what I have wanted to do for some time... Voices said: Buy a Trumpeters KV ! So I had to obey....

It goes together like a dream, but this you guys already know :-)
This is how it looks like after two evenings of work... I'm realy sloooow...



And this is camo scheme that I will hopefully put on it



Cheers

Great choice for the build Will the camo be hard edge or soft edge?

Methinks a hard edged camo will be in order for this fine beast.

Pedro

Well, this is where I've gone with my build on sunday
Nice Big Beast is becoming :-)







And some details for added realism :

Slap some paint on that KV1. Looks like another fine entry

Progress pics...

I tried to texture the hull and the turret last week:







Today I managed to preshade the tank and rust the tracks(to be drybrushed with gunmetal):







I just hope that the preshading will be visible from under the acrylic camo...

Pedro

I know what you mean "voices". I had the same so I participate in B&B with Tamiya SU-122.

Did you have any problems assembling this kit?
Did you use sand paper to texture? Maybe it's matter of pics but on preshaded model I can't see texturing.
So far looking great. Can't wait to see first color applied.

This kit goes together like a dream. Detail is very fine and fit is great!

For the texture I just melted the plastic with nitro thinner and tapped the surface wit soft brush. Results are best when tapped immediately after first wetting. Lastly I sanded the texture a little bit.

The texture is be visible mostly on close ups or bigger pics.

I realy appreciate that you belive in my skills. I'm still learning though and this is the first time that I preshaded a model

Cheers
