Just caught up on yer build Dan, gotta say she looks the part alright 
Mounting frame scratchwork is spot on 

[Deleted]

That's quite an amazing technical lol love it

And love the job your making of this one, nice scratching and brilliant vision.

[bbrowniii]

Dan

Awesome!

When I see stuff like this, I never know if I should be inspired by the rebels innovation or be saddened by their desperation. Either way, it sure makes a cool build!!

[danb.]

Hey chaps i have made a small amount of progress on the gun truck all parts have now been primed and ready for paint i started on the turret then the turret frame i used the HS tech to achieve a worn battle hardened look for the turret and used some new techniques i had learnt from the scrapyard panther dio hope ya all like the progress so far

Hi Dan

A great build so far this looks cool. I remember video footage from the time and these mods looked very dodgy...it did appear that when they fired they'd collapse. Unfortunately although I have loads of photos of these technicals I haven't any with the BMP turrets...bugger.

Sorry for showing up late, been busy, but will be following along.

[ceresvesta.]

Superb! Nice metal works!

[bullardino]

Lovely progress, Dan. The battered look suits perfectly a battlefield mod like that

[bbd468]

Thats bloody killer Dan! Looks the real deal to me brother.

[robbo]

What a great project to take on Dan. Looking well cool mate, keep it coming

[danb.]

As always thanks chaps for taking the time to comment on my build hopefully tonight should see some Lybian graffiti on the turret sides if the AB behaves itself

[danb.]

Thankyou buddy much appreciated

Evening chaps i had some busy times of late with all things life and work so bench time has been limited but i have made a start on painting the truck first up the interior got some greys not all of it is shown because it aint finished yet then moved onto the body of the truck this was given a coat of Tamiya gloss black then alclads magnesium as a base then Aluminium as a highlight its quite bright but i think once its chipped and weathered it will calm down a bit hope you like me small amount of progress















Dan B

[danb.]

Thanks buddy im sure the blingyness should settle down once it gets some random coats of gloss and matt on her

Dan B

[imatanker]

I'm liking it so far Dan. It won't be blingy for long I'll bet.

[deafpanzer]

Fantastic chipping job!

[macmcconnell.]
