Soviet Naval Column - Part 6

Hi guys, sorry again for the massive delay, school has been absolutely crazy and I've not had much time to get much done. Despite this, I have got all 5 military vehicles greened and chipped along with several details. I am now on the verge of weathering them and have finally begun the diorama. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Also, sorry the photos are in a weird order, the computer  went abit crazy. :s $

Sorry

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Still in France and wont be able to do any proper installments until, at least, the 20th of August. The Soviet Armoured Column is coming along nicely and received it's final green coat today. Weathering will commence shortly. The Stalinetz is pretty much finished and only needs tracks. Finally, the Chechnya River Crossing vehicles are done, all that is left to do on that front is set them in a river.
Thanks for your patients,
Euan

Soviet Armoured Column - Part 5

Just a wee update before I go to France. From here, progress and updates should be more frequent as I will have far more time and (fingers crossed) sunshine. I, literally 5 mins ago, bought a new airbrush, my first Iwata. I wanted one that had the capability to spray fine lines and panels for a reasonable price. I chose the Neo for Iwata CN.
Anyway, I got the interior of the BRDM-2 almost done and the other vehicle interiors primed with white. Only some final weathering and assembly left to do, then I can seal it, ready for priming.
Halford's Matt White was used as a base upon which selected areas were painted green. Chips were added with Black Grey and Olive Green. The radios were done using various bright colours. To tone back the stark white, I used Vallejo Brown Wash for the first time. This worked perfectly, highly recommended. Once varnished, thinned AK Track Wash was applied followed by some Light Rust and Grease Stains. The rest was fairly standard, brown for the seats and black for the steering wheel etc.
Enjoy

Chechnya River Crossing - Part 2

Hi guys,
Just a tiny update. I got the schnorkel and extended periscope done. They are'nt completely accurate but will do. The EP is a bit wider and taller than it should be but ohh well. I used the aerial from a remote control car remote to make the first two tiers of the schnorkel and a piece of plastic pipe for the third. A cross section of wire was then used to create a gap between the plastic pipe and a circular piece of etch that forms the cover.
