Definitely looks like it had a bad day!  That's good though, looks like a proper wreck! |

Fleabay................LMFAO
Looks like a good wreck if you ask me. Dio it all burnt and shot up with some US or Russian soldiers looking\picking through the wreck. throw some messed up stowage, tarps and crap and call it a done deal.

You did a great job on wrecking that. Very realistic damage I would say.

I don't plan on working this too hard so went to work with the salt and then started layering down Vallejo dunkelgelb and green stripy camo followed by more salt and more paint........ then more salt, more paint, bit of hairspray, more salt etc etc. You get the picture Then onto main rust colours using Vallejo acrylics. Then I applied the kits decals  Lots of salt still needs clearing up as pics are revealing how grainy its left the finish  Thinking about it, seeing as most of the cab floor has gone and the interior completely devoid of paint I dont think there would be any of the seat cushion materiel left so this area will need a reworking. Will try and find appropriate seat springy type material in scale. Any suggestions ?  Also the windscreen/sheild is unlikely to have survived so that's going to have to go to  I am a bit limited with having a choice of just three Vallejo rust colours so will be investing in the Lifecolour rust set ASAP  Much, much more work to go but great practice for future projects |

Great progress. The result is really convincing |

I'd imagine for the seat you'd probably have nothing left from that kind of fire but the frame. Don't know if these had spring coil cushions, but you could try to create some using coiled wire or solder using a drill bit or similar and then distorting them as needed? Nice progress on the burnt-out areas!
