Very good Richard Nice camouflage.

Hello Richard

Wow, it looks quite good, I saw that you spent much time working on it. Sharp type of camouflage on your BMP is beautiful. Did you use Vallejo paints to make it??

 

Best regards

Damn good piece of work Richard, I really like it. I guess the masking took a lot of time. Could you tell us something about the masking process?

[sokol]

Good job

 

Very nice "bewup"

[FAHR]

Very nice painting work! Turret and back door are really nicely done. Little shame, that you haven't improved engine and exhaust grills and barrel, very poor elements in this kit (take a look on my kit in gallery- little advertisement from my side )

ps. hope your next model shown on our forum will be in polish service;) you can count on our help in this part

ps2. sorry about my english, but i passed driver licence today and i'm celebrating with %

No Jacques, I used Tamiya paints. Light grren is a 50/50 mix of XF-5 and X-8, dark green is XF-5 and the black is humbrol acrylics 33 ( poor paint...) mixed with a little dark yellow to fade it down

Sure I can, pics are better than words. I used Tamiya masking tape and it really was long :

 

 

Thank you for your comment !

Yes, sure I know the kit has shortcomings

I did not want to invest time in heavy surgery, so I only modified the kit to look like the Finn version.

Why not a polish model next time ? I have to think of it (I read somewhere that Trumpeter will issue a 1/35 Dana...)

 

Cheers,

Hello,

 

Here are some pictures of the BMP-1 with the first weathering steps achieved (washes, pigments, metal scratches...). The process is not finished but the end is near for this BMP-1.

 

 

 

 

Cheers,

It is real ;) Look at photos of BMPs .

Very interesting subject and good job kerojp4 ;)

[tomek14147]

Very nice weathering Richard, now the model looks much better. I like the colours of the camouflage and those silver scratches.

[Ł.Sosnowski]

Great job Richard Weathering is beautiful, but You can make some more scratches, especially on rear part of upper panel.

I waiting for next update

Koledzy jak to będzie po angielsku :

 

Bardzo ładny model. Wątek znany mi z Armoramy gdzie ten model jest robiony razem z lawetą na MAZIE.

[peter]

Very beutiful model. I know that thread from Armorama where that model is made on MAZ's trailer

Great job. Very nice. Sorry i don`t speak to english.

Richard, I really like your model! You used nice colours and the sharp-edge camouflage is great for this vechicle exactly as same as its shape. I hope that you'll built the Erikoiss Kuljetuus (excuse me I write the name from memory) with all things added by Finnish soldiers.

 

Cheers
