Chechnya River Crossing - Part 3

Hi guys, another update on the Chechnya front and I've decided to replace the T-80 with another BMP-1. The line up now stands with two Dragon BMP-1s and an Alanger BTR-D. After having got all vehicles ready, I primed them with white and per-shaded with Vallejo Black Grey. For the first time ever, I used a different green!! I tried Vallejo Model Air Field Green mixed with Vallejo Model Colour Olive Green and found it to be very pleasing. As usual I began with Olive Green for the scratches and a dark brown chips. Once sealed with varnish, I did another new thing, used a pre-made wash from AK instead of using Abteilungs. Dark Brown for Green was applied around all bolts and in panel lines followed by, finally, DRY TRANSFERS! It has taken a couple of years to get around to buying them but seeing as it was my birthday, I just added them to my order :) . They were applied roughly so as to appear chipped. Yet another first for me was pre-dusting. A general dirt colour was mixed and air brushed along crevices and hatch openings so as to form a base for further grime. As mentioned, it had been my birthday and I was kindly given a budget by my parents which I then spent on an array of Mig and AK products. Multiple combos and layers of mud washes were then applied to the upper hull. Since this was over a month ago, I can't really remember everything I did so will just post the pictures, sorry. I will try and get back to more regular updates after Telford or before.

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 $
