Organization

I've been working on organizing a workshop for myself for a few years now. I think there is an older post under the same tag of "workshop" if you want to see some additional pictures. Today I was organizing the chaos corner, it was rapidly getting worse. All the new kits I was buying where just being jammed in the chaos corner. I've been using Scalemates.com to track what I have in my stash and what projects are ongoing. I am now pleased to say the corner looks much better and I can even see all my kits now!

BRDM 3 Complete

After a few long evenings and some heavy weathering this is the result! She has a Soviet Navy livery and has seen a lot of use, mostly in training excercises. 

You learn a lot researching for model projects. The Soviets used a small number of there vehicle stockpile for training exclusively. The idea being that brand new vehicles would be delivered to units should a war break out. With that in my mind I wanted to really beat in this amphibious tank hunter. Heavy chipping and lots of mud build up seemed in order. 

Brdm 3 chipping and base paint

I finished up the base color and chipping effects. I used the hairspray technique. I'm pretty happy with the results. Next I'll add some more weathering, mud, and dust.

Brdm Update

Finally got the assembly finished and gaps filled. After a quick primer I gave it a coat of Chipping Brown. I want to get some chipping techniques on this old army vehicle. The tires had a light airbrushing of migs rubber and tires color.
