My friends, tonight we're doing a full build & detailed tutorial at the same time! We'll take a very close look at how to simulate super rough cast steel textures on Soviet heavy tanks, everything based on actual reference photos.
This Tamiya kit was upgraded with metal tracks from Friulmodel, Aber barrel and photo-etch, Alpine and Panzer Art figures, and some stowage from Plusmodel and Legend Productions.
Special thanks goes to Matt Flegal for providing the reference photos!

Very nice model, I use the cement, and stiff brush techniques, but I also use Mr. Surfacer 500. Having worked in a steel mill when I was younger and seeing the castings on those soviet tanks, that "crap" would never pass in the states. We made the armor for the M-88 ARV. We also made seamless pipe that was used in Submarines.
@damiangroen9408
@damiangroen9408 2 жыл бұрын
the casting was propably done in a high temperature, then cooling it fast makes the steel crack, I think that's why they welded the cracks up

nope. Cracks are bad things, can't have them. Thats shrinkage. Steel doesn't flow at all like iron. Steel is usually forged, casting is a really limited process.

Great job on the armor textures. Looks amazing. A little insight to the tank in your reference photos. I live not far from the museum where that IS2 is located. Prior to coming to the US that tank was used as a range target in the Netherlands. Which would explain most of the really deep pits and gouges. The damage was filled in for display at the museum. Keep up the good work Martin.

My compliments to you sir! I recently built this model. I definitely understated the texture in all areas of my tank as compared to yours and the reference photos you showed. I used Mr. Surfacer 500 to simulate texture, but totally missed on the flame cuts and those horizontal lines in the hull & turret. I look very forward to seeing this painted and of course the diorama you have planned. Outstanding!! 👍

The texturing looks really nice, Tamiya IS-2 is one of the best plastic kit on the market. One mark regrding the tracks. The one you got from an old model is a postwar type of IS tracks. For a wartime vehicle you should use the type you got as plsatic in the kit AFAIK. Friulmodel do the job as ATL-54.
@jczeus
@jczeus 2 жыл бұрын
Seconded! All tracks on IS-2s were 650mm wide, and you can choose from 3 different types. Firul ATL-54 would be an early type, with a split link without guide tooth on every second link. These were gradually replaced with ones with a guide tooth on every link, so near the end of the war this was the most common type (ATL-14). But then there's a 3rd type, also with a guide tooth on every link, which also can be seen on some late war photographs. AFAIK, this set is only available from MasterClub (35199), but good luck finding these due to the current political situation.
