Trumpeter 1:72 BTR-80


Recommended Posts

Finally got around to taking some images of this build, built late last year.

There is great scope for super detailing this kit or simply fixing some of the shortcomings. I decided to not to rectify these preferring to practice a few new weathering techniques. Kit goes together well but does need some filler around the front upper and lower chassis halves.

So here are the pics.

Kit was painted with Vallejo paints followed by fading and washes using oils. Pastels completed the weathering.

OOOh that is extremely brilliant.

Love the way you have displayed the Tank...

Love the tufts of grass on gravely earth..How did you get it to look

like that...Simple but effective I'd say..

NICE !! :unsure:

Hi Holmes and thanks for the kind words :)

I use Silfor Karst tufts, blended into the groundwork with flock mixes. They are great for this purpose.

:cheers:

Super good job! I really like the blending of the flock and the grass tufts on the groundworks. You got to love Silfur products! i'm going to have to give that a try!
