Rambling While Rendering Series 1: KT-3 "Kalinka" Medium Tank, Part 8

It's finally done... for the most part. I ended up making a few more tweaks to the design, which I share in a Hive post that you can see below. What I recorded here, however, was the process of adding lines, hinges, and bolts to the screens attached to the sponsons, so that panels can be opened up for maintenance purposes, as was done on many historical tanks, such as the T-28 (the second most important design to inspire the KT-3). The reason that these lines have to be so wide, incidentally, is so that they are easily visible on a 3D-printed model. Make these lines too thin, and not only will they be hard to see, but they will easily be filled in and utterly obliterated during painting.
