***** Thank you Pat! The sprue here was more to fill the gap and build up the weld seams from the cast surface, as this is a Russian tank so the welds ain't purty fro sure! But you can use it as the weld line itself and score it with a hobby knife.

Armour Empire Thank you Mark! You modern armour builders never have to deal with the welds or cast textures ..... but then the camo kills you lol. My Orochi Bradley is awesome and I'm really enjoying the build so far. Pick it up if you can; as I explain in my next update it's basically modern Tamiya-esque parts count and exquisite molding, Trumpeter instructions, and at my shop was $45 while an older Dragon or Trumpeter kit there costs $50. PE, anti-slip, separate tires and a wheel mask ...... when are they releasing a StuG kit lol

I didn't do a video on the build, but I've done videos on builds on Dragons StuG IIIs and Panzer IVs and this was just a mix of both. It was a great kit to build! I will do videos on the finishing of it though because I'm going to do a winter whitewash over the camo pattern and I'll show how I do that, and I'll also do a video on the weathering process.

Acetone works great for dilluting Tamiya putty. And when putty hardens up in its tube, you can use the same chemical to soften it. Use acetone from a pharmacy (expensive) or a DIY shop (cheaper). When you use putty as a filler you can avoid sanding by cleaning up the excess by wiping it with an acetone soaked cotton bud. And sorry for being five years late.

Skull Gun Well I have tow lamps; one from my side and one from the camera's side, but the camera one died so its not on for some of the video. Fixed now, though. I think a white background rather than the green would help too. You could use any brush I think....the one I used here was pretty much destroyed before I even started. I suggest doing a test on the bottom of the turret of hull first though.

Uh, your method of making weld seams seems needlessly dangerous. Melting styrene gives off some unpleasant fumes, as does its combustion. Putty is much safer. Thank you for the cast technique - it seems very similar to the rolled steel techniques I've seem elsewhere but heavier.
@Panzermeister36

+Alex Hunt stretched sprue is a very common technique. There is so little material that such fumes aren't of concern. We probably inhale more fumes from glue and thinners. But, you can always buy some styrene rod which is what I do now.
