Greetings all,
Hope everyone had a good holiday. I got Covid for Christmas, along with a KV-1. Unfortunately the rest of my family got the virus from me so this has been quite a different holiday this year but it was bound to happen sooner or later. Unable to go to work is giving us some time to spend together?
Anyway, my wife and daughter got the KV-1 for me this Christmas and I'll be practicing some weathering on it. I started with some brown wash on the bolt heads and some of the seams, and I'm thinking I'll be adding some silver "scratches" around the edges and maybe try my hand at some rust areas.
I'm starting slow and perhaps a bit too subtle but I think that is probably better than going too overboard to start. I'm still searching for the translation on the decals, it would be cool to know what it says. I did take it for a test drive this afternoon and the gun on this thing is somewhat impressive.
Not much else going on at the moment taking care of everyone. Thankfully my symptoms are not intense at all.
