Thanks for the comments on this one folks. Here is the next installment. The breakdown of the turret is great for adding the weld seams seen on these early T-34 types.
So here is my process, it's the first time I've done it, but it was pretty easy and I like the result. Note the turret does require a little filler, but not much.
First up a little stretch sprue applied with MEK. I do a little at a time and work my way around the turret. While still soft I chop away lightly with the #11 blade to get the weld effect. It is so small in this scale, most work was done with a magnifier.
Cheers,
Donovan
