Looking good Leon! Mayhaps a bit more chipping around the front edges of the bow? Looks a bit pristine at the mo.

Hiya Leon. One has to admit: those Soviet BTR got something about their looks which is attracting. Or at least to me it is Nice work so far. Really love the chipped paint. And cool to see it in the white UN paint in stead of the usual green. Cheers |

Evening fellas! After a late night session and 3 failed attempts at streaking i finally through in the towel.I decided to do a dry mud effect.This has it's dull coat on and i just need to get the ab out and lay down a coat of dry mud paint.Not sure if this will work with the dio i had planned as you can see below.Anyone know where i can get some civilian figures without buying a couple of kits just for one or two figures?

Morning fellas! I finished the dry mud yesterday with a few light coats of Tamiya flat earth.It is now finished.It may get a base later,still debating if i want to spend the money on a few figure kits just for 2 or 3 figures.I hope you like it and thanks for following along.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

Looking good Leon! But I have to ask: is there a reason for the wheels to still be clean?
