1/35 KV-2 BUNKER BUSTER BY TRUMPETER

[Mark1]

The latex has arrived, so a coat has been made on the branches. Going to leave over night then start to do layers, as many as needed to hide the twisted wire.

Hi Mark, you followed it up, thank you.:smiling3: I was suprised that it didn't have a label, thought things had to be labeled up properly.

......... LOL!

Suddenly tonight I felt like doing the base paint wise. What I wanted to achieve is the rock formations that the bunker was built onto.
Started with a grey, then when I'm was doing a very thinned wash on the back to use up any paint left in the lid I realized it looked better!
So rubbed the now painted front section with a toweling cloth , adding more water as required.
Once that was done I added some light sand brown. Left it to dry over night to see how it looks.


Will add some darker browns. There will be a very light snow covering at the end.

Nice to feel in the modeling mood again .

Comments welcome, along with abuse and anything else.:nerd:

Base is looking good my friend. Jarvis do a lot of great diorama extras. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses
