1/35 Zvezda T-90 Part 2

As promised, here are some more pics of the nearly completed T-90. Still have to do the final track adjustments and various tweeks, but its pretty much done, now all I have to do is create the base with ramp for it to be jumping off.

To be honest the pics make it look a lot more bland and plain than real life. (I promise)

1/35 Skif BMD-1P


This is my BMD that I started a couple of years ago. It was one of the first times I had tried realistically detailing a model, checking ref pics etc. I then hacked up the engine deck, removing the panels and creating the lip. Unable to find any pictures of a BMD-1's engine compartment, I asked the chaps on Armorama and sure enough I got  replies, links and all the pics I could ask for. Special thanks to Spiderfrommars, Mauro and Frechy. Anyways, several pictures on the internet showed destroyed BMDs in the Middle East that had been gutted. I thought that would make a nice dio. I also scratch built the ATGM and the grills at each side of the engine. I had to stop though because I lost the idlers suspension arm. I now realize I can easy fix this but have not got round to it yet. Heres where I am with it.
