My friends, the textures on the turret are now complete, and I don't know what to do next! :D

I might add the few remaining details from the kit such as the periscopes and hatches (dry-fitted, of course), and move on to the hull. I find it easier to have the basic outline of the model in front of me before I start with the more creative aspects of the build such as shell impacts, modifications to the model, etc.

This time I didn't use my sharp plastic screwdriver thingy made from a sprue for the multiple-pass welds. Instead I used a curved hobby blade, and it works really well! The weld texture is crispier, more pronounced.

Still working on that surprise! Yesterday it took the majority of my time, but at least I managed to get the welds done :)

Excellent work as always.

Aw, the welds. I always find your reworked welds add tons of character to the kit your working. After muck grime dust etc, I always enjoy your 1/35 welding sessions.

You make this look so easy. I recently tried this on a junkyard model (Tamiya M-41 Walker), and to say it was a disaster at first would be an understatement... damn putty wants to stick to everything BUT the model. But, once you kinda, sorta start getting the hang of it, pictures don't do justice the transformation it does to a model, especially once you get some primer on it. Thanks for the tips & tricks over the years!
