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.

Joe
The outcome looks very realistic, thanks for the explanation!

I think I'm in love with the hatch detail

Fantastic work.

Alex Rakhimgulov
Thanks, Friends! It is a really exciting and addictive process )))
I would like too ask, can anyone tell me, how to paint a "glass"? I mean, i need to imitate a glass on the headlight, and i can't find info, how to do it.

I do a mix of light blue, light beige and white. Using only white is just too stark. Hit it with a little clear gloss, and then a grimy wash. Still doesn't compare to the kits with the clear plastic lens covers, but doesn't look bad.

Alex Rakhimgulov
Thanks for info, Mate! Will try your way.

The 'painting exercise' is a success. Well done! 👍🏻.If this is an exercise then I am already looking forward to your 'for real work'😉
