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

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

Alex RakhimgulovThanks, 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.

Alex RakhimgulovThanks, 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.

DoubtingmangoI 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.
