And at the construction site I continue to lose aftermarket. Consciously and voluntarily. I did not see any fundamental difference between native sloths and resin sloths from Э.В.М.
No, it is there, but not so much that it would jump out of your pants now. There will be more projects ahead where they can be used.
Similarly with the tracks: I used the original ones. Although they are bad in all Trumpeter sets and it is definitely better to change them.
The thing is, in the comments to the previous KV-1, KurtLaughlin shared his technology on this forum
«Raised knock out/pusher marks on flat surfaces are not usually a concern for me. I glued a 3mm diameter disk of sandpaper onto the end face of a 3mm hardwood dowel and mount it into my electric rotary tool. Removing the marks while the tracks are still on the sprues is quick and easy.
Sunken marks are filled with punched disks of styrene sheet and treated as if they are raised. I never have to use a putty or filler.»
That’s what threw me off my track. Like: our hands are not for boredom. I didn’t strictly follow his technology, I managed with this tool.
And I have them strung on Chinese chopsticks, i.e. decent logs.
I think I already mentioned that I got into the habit of doing preshading with primers from Mr.Hobby: black, brown, gray and, if necessary, white. So the modulation set will be laid on the prepared preshading. In short, Salt is salty.
Since I have extremely poor artistic abilities, I prefer to paint in full accordance with them, i.e. poorly.
I decided to paint with a modulation kit from Mr.Hobby that I bought not so long ago. Not so much to achieve outstanding results, but to try it out before using it on another, more complex project. So that I wouldn’t screw it up later.
When painting, a positive side effect of my painting area became apparent: there is a very convenient place for painted parts.

This is how I achieve the maximum possible (for me) effect of realism.
If, with your highly artistic abilities, supported, quite possibly, by a specialized education, you see it differently – then don’t tell me about it. I should have at least one illusion left in my old age!
