This is the new Trumpeter BMP1 kit there are a few minor errors to correct but like T55 depends on where when and who built it mine will be joining other models on a long term project the Afgahan Graveyard. so heres were we are at almost built and ready for fun. .

Dicky shes out the box bar a few straps and some work on the exhaust. The skirts are alloy i think.
Sprang up on night shift but left painting for here.

Yep.....all steel welded construction as far as I know Luigi  I'm probably confusing it with a later BMP... |

Well i better make double sure last time i did something like this i chipped a hurrican propeller with alluminium oooops it was wood. One thing that was missing is the raised lip round the exhaust grill. .  DSC07473 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. 10 min plastic card saw to that. |

OOHH- I'm looking forward to this. Luigi- the BMD has an alumninium hull with steel turret. I had orginially thought of doing mine as a rusting hulk, but on discovering it was mostly aluminium I decedied to just paint the bleedin' thing.  p |

Hmmmmmm....I'm confused "The BMP-1 is a fully amphibious tracked vehicle, with a front-engined chassis developed especially for it, a welded steel hull with a sharp, sloping front with a conspicuously ridged surface, a centrally located, flat, truncated cone turret and a troop compartment at the rear.[21]" "It also had large steel armored skirts fitted to the sides of the hull covering the suspension" I'm not familiar with ANY single skinned aluminium AFVs apart from the Swiss variant Warrior 2000 which was an all-welded ally hulled vehicle that never made production. Honestly fellas this really is news to me and I would love to hear more I've seen loads of piccies of rusty BMP's and am now wondering if that is from fixtures and fittings or Ferric particles within the radar absorbent paint?? HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!! BMP-1 is made of steel, Paul was saying that BMD is made of alu I did a fast research and some sites say that BMP-3 is made of aluminium alloy, and that's what confused me, probably.  |

Thanks guys i needed some armour time. I HAVE SEEN A FEW REMARKS OF LATE IN FAVOUR OF POST SHADING. This i also find better then pre shading as it gives more control. i will post shade some of the larger rust areas in the same way. '.  DSC07503 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Most of the hatches require this method. Mac |

I agree with Guy, your style is very realistic. The BMP looks like some iron left to rust outside...

Right Then with the basics on it was time to re chip:  DSC07541 by macmcconnell, on Flickr  DSC07540 by macmcconnell[ DSC07539 by macmcconnell, on Flickr/url], on Flickr.  DSC07535 by macmcconnell, on Flickr Now i used sponge ,brush and tooth pick to chip and pick up detail the last shot shows the 3D effect on the paint coming into play. Next more filters looks a little rough but stick with it. Rgs Mac PS Dicky sorted that multi image prob...............I AM THICK....SOMETIMES Sometimes?   Luv Neems  |
