maz 543-m nba habitat unit

This model was a conversion that i built up to use up one of the many old dragon scud kits i have in my stash
I built up the very basic drive train in the kit minus the wheels,added basic scratch built axels gearboxes and propshafts,
I then built the left hand side drivers cab the bonet and radiator/grill and fitted it to the chassie,
I then scratch built a new radiator/grill and the right hand side of the bonnet and fenders.from evergreen strip and sheet.
The accomodation unit and generator unit were scratch built from styrene sheet and evergreen strip and then scratch built the gun at the rear and made up and added all the fittings to the vehicle ready to paint.
It was primed and painted using ak acrilic paint and then pinwashed and dry brushed and finally finished with a matt cote
I then cleaned up painted and fitted a set of meng weighted resin wheels..
Its a bit of a long vehicle but is something different untill trumpeter bring theres out to go with there grumble kit.

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