madmike Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 UM BA-6 built out of the box. as per usual, I used Vallejo paints weathered with oil washes, filters and finally MIG pigments to tie the model into the base. A great kit, though UM plastic is quite brittle, which did cause some breakages. I used a metal aftermarket barrel as the kit barrel was beyond salvaging. In in all a great little kit and I even got all wheels touching the ground, which often can be an issue with wheeled AFV's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spitfire31 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Not being an AFV guy by the remotest stretch of the imagination (I built an Airfix 1:76 T-34 in my early teens, and a Revell Long Tom that I shot to pieces with an air rifle), I really do enjoy a model (of any kind) which gives that eerie impression of shrunk reality. This one belongs squarely in that category. Stunning, really! Only microscopic gripe might be the 404 which looks a bit clean and fresh to my eyes. Might be the photo, though. Superb! /Joachim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Can't decide which I like better, the vehicle or the setting! GREAT Job on both! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arkhunter2002 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Good job on the vehicle! I like that you base most of your pieces and that it's braille too! What do you use for your bases though? What's the dimensions on them? Take care, Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
