Great build, Paul. It looks very nice.
Thanks for the comments, Ron. I agree with you. I had some problems with the netting, but bigger problems with big bright aluminium missile cannisters on a front line vehicle. I have reapplied water and thinned white glue to the netting, as well as painted and repainted the netting several times. Finally a little cutting to get the shape right. I am not 100% satisfied with it, but it will have to do for now.
My build is now finished. It is a Soviet Navy SA-9 Gaskin. I have used a lot of new techniques and weathering products for this build to test some new ways of weathering. Lot of new experiences and learnings - especially since some of the first techniques ends up being invisible due the the next weathering steps.
Overall a nice build, but the next one will be better - an AB 41 for the "Mighty Wheels" campaign.
Sorry the pictures are not clear, but during the few daylight hours we have in Denmark this time of year I am working.
Comments welcome

Hey there Jesper !
That's a mean looking machine - I like the shape of it. I may have to get one of those I think...
I'm going to try some camo netting soon - I think it is better to use Oregano or Tea leaves to get a better effect also.
Cheers
Paul

Progress pic of my BRDM-2, I think a one day extension is needed to finish the paint job.

I took another look at my M3 and realised that it will take me quite some time in order to get it done...
I have to pull out of this one.
Too bad....
Great campaign though! I loved it!

Thanks for the comments, Paul. Good tip on the oregano trick.
As promised earlier here are some pictures of the Gaskin in daylight to show a more realistic look of the model.

Thanks, Marcin. The campaign has been very entertaining although I only finished in the lasy minute.
Thanks a lot for running this campaign and taking the initiative for it.

Thank you Marcin!
You've managed to make me build some modern armor for a first time .
BTW: How did you find time to post anything? You're at work, right?

Sure I'm at work. When I'm at home I can barely find time to sit at modelling desk and take glue to my hand. My wife and kid need extra attention and care right now if know what I mean. sitting at computer is highly risky and moddeling is a bit better tolerated .
