@Rafbul – Rafal,

Truly outstanding work! Remarkable scratch building and painting skills . . . great attention to detail, down to the chipped and worn rubber wheels . Realistically weathered. The base and figures send this one over the top!

This build must have taken you some time to complete, obviously you are a very patient and observant person. Welcome to the site and thanks for sharing and posting your work. Excellent set of photographs too! Hope to see more of your work here.

Paul, I seem to recall Cookie Sewell did an amazing job producing one from (I think - my memory may be adrift) primarily Trumpeter IS3M donor kits; Military Modelling magazine covered it over 2 issues, but this was around 4 years ago. A stunning piece of work and I've been dreaming of it ever since. This was a Cold War bogeyman much neglected by the fraternity, although it later transpired (apparently) to have been less than was estimated.

I have the Navigator resin kit of the T10A but haven't summoned up the courage or energy to tackle it yet.

Gary, I believe that you want it.
There are some rumors, that full resin kit of this vehicle will be available from one of the polish manufactures. As far as I know my colleague is preparing a master kit of this vehicle. But don't ask me for more details. That's everything I know about it.
As for the pictures... to be honest, most of the pics were made by Kamil (probably known as KFS-miniatures), who sharing with me his workbench place, and some modeling knowledge.
Thanks you my friend for your attention, and your kind words.
I hope I could share with you some future projects. But at this time I don't know what it would be

By the way - this is is my very first miniature with scratchwork. Primary project contains just a simple restoration of the wrecked miniature, but finally I've made a lot of improvised (according references for a few vehicles) modifications.
Thanks guys for your consideration i give you the OIF Guntruck http://armorama.com/forums/190014&page=1

Trumpeter really need to make this in plastic soon. Great looking vehicle. Does anyone know if there is a resin one out there?

P.S.

Hi Rafal,

What an incredible build, paint job & setting!!!! Amazing scrath building skills & attention to deatil. Holland had Van Cough, Italy Da Vinci & Poland has Rafal!!!!! A modern master piece to rival the classic works & deserving of a place in the Polish Muesum of all things steel & dangerous!!

Rafal, wow!

You do not see very often scratchbuild models like yours, well done! What was the hardest part to make? Gun mantlet?

I'm very curious to your next build, also scratch or just bake & shake?

That is a wonderful piece for work, from the research through to the planning, scratch-building and then painting and setting, the whole project is a masterpiece.

Thanks for posting. It looks amazing.

Thanks Mike, I'm really honoured, that you ranked my works so high, but I'm really not a master of modeling.

Indeed, the gun mantlet was one of the most laborious part of this vehicle.

Thanks guys, i'm really glad, that you like it.

A structure of the mud was made with vallejo acrylic pasta (as far as i remember white or gray pumice) applied on surface before the paintwork, on the finished miniature i finally retouched it with pigments, primary airbrushed, and then applied with soft brush.
