URAL ..P18 RADAR (SPOON REST)

Ural 4320   P18 Radar  conversion
This model won a gold medal at telford smw 2010
This model started out as the revell Ural kit, i used the chassie and cab from the kit and scratch built the rest from styrene sheet, rod,strip and tube.the wheels were made from my own molds out of resin.
The array is made from styrene tube with a brass bar inserted down the center,
The aerials are etch brass that i had made in scotland the support cables are from carbon fiber rod.

The model was painted with humbrol m117 green then the camo was airbrushed on freehand 1st linen then 2nd black over the top of the green.
This was then colourwashed and then drybrushed with lightened shades of the original colours. i then slightly weathered it.
The final finish was a coat of humbrol matt cote

AZM-2000 mtlb engineers vehicle...sp designs conversion

AZM 2000 Engineer vehicle This model started out as a SP Designs full resin kit,but it had been molded so badly with numerous defects in the resin. I binned about 80% of the kit and kept only the front rams and the top excavator arm and bucket. So i used the plastic Skif MTLB kit instead and copied all the details from the resin kit and added them to the skif kit. I remade the front dozer blade from styrene sheet and strip. The model was painted with Humbrol green and the camo was sprayed freehand over the top of the green,this was then colour washed and drybrushed with the final finish of matt cote

Based on MT-LBu tracked AFV it is equiped with a radar for the control of tactical air defence systems armed with missiles and artillary such as the Tunguska sa-19,ZSU-23 shilka, strella sa-13.the Sborka is capable of carrying out target designation whilst moving or stationary. The kit is a 1:35 scale resin kit from SP Designs .It did build up quite well, with a bit of coaxing. i needed to add to the kit and chop and change a few items as you do with most resin kits.The tracks are the resin ones supplied with the kit. i painted the model with humbrol enamels and added the camo freehand using an airbrush . i have pinwashed it and then drybrushed it..

BAT-M engineers vehicle ..panzer shop

BAT-M Heavy Engineers vehicle This kit started off as one of the Panzershop full resin kits. There were a lot of missing parts/details missing from this kit and a lot of parts made incorrectly ,so there is about 45% of this kit which is scratch built. The paints are Humbrol and this was applied with an airbrush,i used 3 tins of green paint,one was darkened using a dark green, one was as tin,and the last tin was lightened with a light green. I applied the darkend green   over  around  the joints and  around the doors and panels,i then filled in with the normal green and highlighted with the lightened green The whole model was colour washed followed by dry brushing using the 2 lighter shades of green . This model was a gold medal winner at the IPMS UK  International  Scale model word 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
