Afghan BTR 70 - from the graveyard

[scratchmod]

Since I had, and still have pc issue due to a virus I had some time to bang out yet another rust bucket. I built, painted and did the base in 7 days so this was a quickie. I mainly wanted to have a model to paint while spending two days with Iain Hamilton of AK Interactive and also SMA's very own ken Abrams. We had a great time talking models and such, oh and the beers helped too.

Here she is. The old Dragon BTR 70 built OOTB except for the replacement of the grab handles and light guards which where either already broken or broke while cleaning then up. The was another experiment using AK CM paints and a different type of rusting. No salt or HS used the the rust and chipping.

Those guys from AK Interactive love to put there logo everywhere eh ;D ;D Graffitti was done using a very fine tipped AB.

Cheers

you never stop to Amaze, Rob!!! I was trying to look for a Halftrack in LHS but the M4 cost to much to be a rust bucket... end up having an academy humvee troop carrier.

Glad to see you are managing to get online and share this with everyone, it's another beauty dude.

It's amazing how fast things can go together when you spend a little time at the bench eh? ;D

Thanks dudes, glad you like the BTR. Yeak Ken it great when you have the time and no puter distractions. That makes 4 or 5 so far for 2011, time to slow down and maybe get some models finished that I started but lost interest. : ;D
