Thank you,Allen! Unfortunately not only welds. Zenit.....in the past time I liked this team when there were many players from our city. Now it isn't so.
I play football as a player since I was 15. In the past time I play indoor every Saturday.

Great detailing as always.

Hi Artyom
Unusual looking vehicle. We don't see too many resin kits built. This one looks well moulded. The body is a big chunk of resin. Very neat work on the extra detailing.

Hi,Jim! this is my first attempt to work with full resin kit. Now they are unpopular and still expensive. I have another full resin kit - Merkava from Legend. I think it will be better to buy kit from Meng
This kit is quite well casted, but the main problem are wheels. We will see it in the future

More WIP with copper and welds. More to come

Hi Scottie! I always use. Structure by modelling knife.

Tamiya Epoxy Putty (Quick Type)

Incredible amounts of detail, lovely stuff.

Thank you very much!

Top work as always Neo. Now I used to do weld seams in the same way. However I found the stuff would not stay stuck to the surface and would come off when I made the seam detail or when it had set and it just fell off. Do you have this problem?. I used to use milliput.

Hello, Steve! Unfortunately I didn't use Milliput ever. I don't know if it has the same properties as Tamiya Putty. I know this problem. I have it while working with Tamiya epoxy. Usually I connect two parts of epoxy and then give it some time (5-10 minutes). Only then I put it on the surface.
I let it dry a little (5-7 minutes) and it doesn't get so sticky.

You mean: “Fortunately I didn't use Milliput ever.” Seriously, almost any other brand of epoxy putty is easier to use than Milliput, in my experience.

All epoxy putties I know harden in two stages: after you mix it, it sticks to everything, then it stays soft but doesn’t stick anymore, and then sets hard. One of the mains differences between different makes is how long it takes to go through those steps.

Hi Neo
Great added details.

Very nice. So much extra detail so early in the build. The stuff great models are made of.

It is quite hard to get Milliput for me. So after your words I think I am lucky twice

I agree with you. All depends on time.

Hello Colin and thank you! Unfortunately it is not even a half work.

Coming along very nicely Artyom

Some top notch work Neo. Do you drill or punch your holes in the copper? PaulE.
