KV-9 for painting practice

Villiers de Vos
Very nice texturing and weld marks on this Soviet beast. The photo etch details is a nice touch.

Thank you, Mate! This photo etch is selfmade from 0.2mm brass plate ))) I need to buy the photo etch bender, to make it better. ))

Looks great! How are you making the weld beads?

Alex Rakhimgulov
Thanks, Mate!
I try to make weld beads like on my favorite YT cannel )))
1) I make a groove with scraiber, if it necessary on the plane surfaces.
2) Next, i prepare 2 component putty, and make a thin "laces" out of it.
3) After that, I carefully fill the grooves and angles with putty "laces" and apply welding texture with special tool (toothpick with tip warped with brass sheet, witch forms small speared C shape).
That is all.

The outcome looks very realistic, thanks for the explanation!
