Welcome to the build David. Will look forward to seeing the BMP. Who’s colours are you doing it in ?
not sure yet but it’s gonna have a “Z” on it.
i will need to look into colour schemes the Russians are using and then cover it all in mud etc.
i also need to find out about the interior colours as well as I’d like to open it up and make it look as if it’s been looted by Ukrainian troops or civilians.
i am also working on a tractor made by hasegawa as well

Robin posted a video over in the 1:1 section showing that BDRM command vehicle that got captured. Has some good interior footage that might help with colours.

Thanks for positive comments. It will be toned down with brown wash and some oil dots.

Coming along nicely David
so i mixed up a faded white colour for the interior using tamiya flat white with 2 drops of dark grey and 3 drops of deck tan.
once it was dry i gave it a quick blast of games workshops “purity seal” or whatever name it goes by these days.

Nicely done Dave. Is the raised lettering behind drivers seat hidden from view once the top armour goes on ? I like the foot wear on the plates in front of the troop seats.
