The figures are outstanding, how do you achieve the detail at 1:35 scale painting? If you have any tips I would love to hear from you. Robert

Very impressive looking build. The opened tool box is a nice touch and the crew figures are superbly painted. Awesome!👍

@Robert Ellis - thanks a lot!Probably besides practice and a lot of screw-ups and paint stripping it's mainly a nice paintbrush - I like something like a 0 or 2/0 natural Kolinsky brushes, currently I like Kolibri red ones with triangular handle, but any brush with a nice, sharp pointed tip is suitable for details! I also recommend either online tutorials on how to paint skin or getting your hands on some of the printed guides like AK's "Flesh and Skin". They bring quite a lot of clarity on it 🙂

@James C - thanks a lot! I rearranged the base and the groundwork now, but didn't have time to make a proper photographs! Surely will have to make and upload them soon!

Album info

In fact it was not something daunting - I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, with a little exception for the overall grasswork. Maybe next time and in smaller areas.

Zvezda kit builds nicely even without all the additional parts.
I added various details from the Eduard's PE set for Dragon kit, replaced the barrel, towing cables etc. Tracks are the plastic ones from the box.
The crew was something of a challenge to pose nicely and most kits are focused on typical 5-man crews. I also worked - if little - on converting the figures a bit to make them fit better to the overall concept and make them less obvious as for the set used. I also added some PE parts for them like badges, headphones etc.
