Let's Build The Last Soviet KV-2 (Tamiya 1/48)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My friends, when someone says "a quick, laid back build" I think "Tamiya 1/48 scale armor". This KV-2 has been waiting in my stash for a couple of years and it's the perfect candidate for a relaxed project!

    The turret was so heavy on the KV-2 that they couldn't rotate it if the tank was at too steep an angle.

    I should have added - the geometry of the ground pointed tip of the hypodermic needle is what lets it cut a true round hole more like a cross between a reamer and a D bit drill rather than not so round hole that a twist drill makes and it will also not "grab" the plastic like twist drill does.

    Mr. Nightshift. For me, you are the best modeler. Could you create a model so that it could not be distinguished from the real one? It's just that all the models seem to be toys anyway, and the eye sees the difference. Is it the effects, the size, or how to create this feeling? You have already called a revolution in the field of modeling with your skills! But maybe one more =)?

    For drilling 0.3mm hole try using a 30g hypodermic needle and for a pin vise you should really be using a smaller lighter weight pin vise like the Tamiya 74051 Fine Pin Vise for 0.1mm to 1mm bits. Even if you don't try the hypodermic needle, the smaller lighter weight pin vise will result in fewer broken small drill bits

The vast arrays of modeling techniques, painting methods and subtle kit-bashing is enthralling and completely grabs my attention. It's all so inspiring to me and gives me tons of ideas for things I could do in my free time. Also if you don't mind me asking, what specific is Katyusha is played at 3:36 when the photo of the original basis of the KV-2 is shown?

    I wish I had your attention to detail, I set out with good intentions but then fall at the first hurdle. I would love to see you "make real" a Warhammer 40K tank like a Baneblade or perhaps the new Rogal Dorn tank! I'd love to see you make right the armour detail and scale.... I think you might get a kick out of it adding precision where it is sorely lacking. I'm not a Games Workshop nut, quite the opposite I would just love to see you hit these machines with a stick made of precession and reality. Love your channel.
