Another example of painting tracks attached to a model
Added 2019-11-03 20:07:40 +0000 UTCThis model is also a 1/72 and it also had tracks and wheels firmly glued in place while painting. But the biggest difference was those were actually super high quality resin aftermarket tracks so they had tons of detail which also made the snow application super easy. I originally wanted to add snow to the KV-220-2 as well but the track links don't have enough details where the snow could hold.
Comments
The tarp was sculpted from rolled two part putty, the same way as I did on the KV-220, just bigger.

2019-11-04 22:11:58 +0000 UTCThe snow is actually super simple: a homemade mixture of white pigment and baking soda (50/50 ratio) sprinkled with a small brush over each individual track link and wheel and held in place with pigment fixer - that's all! About the photos, yes I could do a couple of videos about them, one about photo setup and the other about post-production, but it's mainly just about having a lightcube, 3 lamps, a DSLR and a tripod. The editing is unfortunately done in a paid software - Lightroom and Photoshop, but I'm sure there are other programs, although I didn't find one as powerful as those two.

2019-11-03 20:25:49 +0000 UTCwow! so good! love to see the process to get that realistic snow ππ» kind of off topic, but probably not that off, it could also not be of interest to all your followers but it would be nice if you can share some tips to take good pics of your models? like background, lighting, some minimal camera setup, etc...
