After a weekend away getting my hands dirty in the field, this afternoon I carried on where I left off on Friday night. Progress that night stalled on those friggin tracks.
Today I just did my best and lumped on with it. Thankfully the front track guards hide most of my mess, and it is a mess.
Not my best work, by far but it has the shape and it is solid enough for the game table.
First base coat painted, the tracks clearly visible in all their glory. The true colour is not as bad as this night shot.
Very neat and tidy - especially so considering the horror of the tracks!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. One of my favourites vehicles in US motor pool :) Definitely underestimated.

You will notice no detailed shots of the tracks Tim, I really made a dogs breakfast of them mate. I may break them off and try again yet.
ReplyDeleteJust put lots of 'mud' on them. It always works for me.
ReplyDeleteHi Thomas, Hum USSR motor pool, although our American friends use them for OPFOR training I believe.

Mud is applied as directed. Cam nets do the same thing for me as well Tim.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I don't know why but I thought it was an Amtrack :D anyway MT-LB is underestimated too. Quite solid vehicle for some tasks IMO.
