What is with the pallet? Up armoring against new Russian pellet guns? (might work against .22 Rim Fire.)

Looks great. What model are you using by the way? I would hope to build a BMP-2 at some point.

Nice work on the model, but it looks too clean for the environment it's in.

I used trumpeter bmp-2 kit,ETMODELS PE,miniart update turret conversion and masterclub bmp-2 tracks.The bar armor was scratchbuilt from lead soldering wire.

I've been contemplating on adding more mud for a while now,I don't want to over do it to much but I need to get it grounded to the scene.I hope i made sense with that last sentence.Thanks for all the feed back really.

Hello
the BMP2 is great, it represents the craftsmanship of the fighters to protect themselves. I like the camo and all the accessories mounted on it. have you planned to put a crew?
good continuation .

Thanks for your kind words,as of now I have no plans on adding any figures but that doesn't mean it's out of the question.If some figure or figures catch my interest I will most certainly add them.

your BMP is very successful but think to dirty it gradually with the same material and the same colors as the soil

The orange ratchet strap needs dirt applied to it as they don't stay clean for long even if they are new. The yellow crate also needs additional dirt and weathering.

As the bmp is placed on muddy winter setting then you need to carry this on to the vehicle As well

Thanks for all the feed back,totally missed the ratchet strap weathering and I'll redue the milk crate as well.The weathering of the mud I'm planning on doing soon so when I get around to it i'll post more photos.
