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.

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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
