Just got the photos uploaded, hope they work








^^^ I put the tread on backwards on the left track ^^^


The weathing was done with the "candel soot" effect

Looks good!!! :-)
The only thing i have to say, is try putting something white in the background when you take the pics. it will force the models details to stand out more...

Cheers,
Paul

Nice Bradley timberwolf. I'm surprised that only took you two weeks, it usually takes me longer than that just to build them. Only thing I would suggest is to rust up the cable on the back door, it looks like the same color as the body in the photos. Don't worry about the track being backwards, most people will never notice....I wouldn't have!

Hola Timberwolf!!

Looking good, I love the soot effect!!, just a question; when you used the soot method, did you melt some of the thinner parts on the turret or it it supposed to be wavy? Im not an armor person but I was just wondering

Very nice model thanx for sharing the pics

Nice build - be proud. The soot is a cool affect. Don't know if I'll ever muster the courage to try it.
I like the angle of the first photo, it's a cool shot.
The photos are a bit fuzzy (maybe it's my eyes gettin' old), the road wheels look a bit clean.

As always build for youself and be proud of this gem on an M2

Ok thanks guys :-) :-)

Ill weather that chain on the back as Grifter said and dirty up the road wheels like slodder said.....I knew that something was missing

And the photos are are fuzzy wuzzy because I dont YET have a digaltal camera (only 16) I had to use our old video cam and then transfer the images onto the computer so thats why the image quality is so bad

Now.....gota get to work

To be honest, when you first mentioned using the candle, I had a few reservations... But after seeing the effect, I think it looks pretty cool Looks as if your bradley had been among the smoke and grime of the battlefield. Cool effect.

I also like the inside work and detail. :-)
I would have never noticed the reverse tread had you not mentioned it.


Buy That Man a Drink !

T-Wolf..

Very nice Bradley! Good color and weathering effects. Nice interior and more than anything else, you FINISHED one! (My big stumbling block lately)

A microscopic nit to pic (maybe).. I think I remember the TOW missile tube ends on the back of the launcher being OD green..
If nothing else, that would add a bit of contrasting color to that spot.

Even without that it's still a darn nice model.

With the help of Paint Shop Pro My model has somehow found its way to the Iraq desert

"For Saddam"... hehehehe...
Looks great! I have to go with what Paul said, either use a white background or maybe take the pictures outside in natural light... Is it completely done? I love the interior detail, but noticed the lack of the cables on either side of the ramp to close it?

Great Job Timberwolf makes me wish I was back in a line and not pushing a desk all day.




Hey gunnerk19 the Brad doesn't use cables to lift the ramp, it uses a hyderalic arm located under the troop seat closest to the ramp on the left side. Which I notice is miss, however I've done a couple Brads in the past and can't remember any model with one.

REMF 11M
"Mech Infantry why walk when you can ride?"

The box on the lower left side of the opening has the hydraulic ram to open/cose the hatch.
A part not included in the kit, much like the ramp pulley in ALL the M113 kits out there, also missing from ALL the aftermarket sets EXCEPT the Eduard Zelda interior (etch) and the Maple Leaf Models interior (resin)

Sorry, had a brainfart and was thinking about the ramp on a M113... looong day...
