John:
Thanks for the reaction. But I don't think adding rust would be realistic for these vehicles. According to my reference photo's, all of these vehicles didn't have rust on the tracks but were fully covered in dust.

James:
Thanks. It is the Verlinden conversion. The rest of the diorama will come. I first want to build all the figures and vehicles for it and then make the ground work, so I can always try which setting looks best.

Hi Lars. Really nice paint work and weathering on the figures and the Bradley. Wish my skills were as good when I was 14. I don´t know very much about modern armor, but enjoyed your thread all the same. Its a pity your earlier images have dissapeared, and the thread is not complete.

Thanks Neil for the explanation.

Frank:
Thanks! I'd deleted the first photo's, as those were the photo's of the original idea. After putting it aside for a very long time, my skills were improved alot. That's why I was'n't continueing with the original idea and concept.

Lars buddy great to see you've come out of the DIP what happened mate?

I seem to be in one now im building stuff but nothings getting finished lol

James:
Nothing really happened. I think every modelbuilder has times they don't want to build for a while. After that time, you want to start again just like your beginning days.

Lars

Lars,

Your Bradley looks great!

Thanks!

A written update:

Some improvements to do before it's finished:
Add antenna / aerial.
Add some root.
Give some more varation in the dust on the wheels / add dust behind the running gear and maybe add some oil in one wheel.

Finally I could make the finall shots.

My mum is on a holiday to a friend of her in Hungary and, as you can guess, she took the camera with her.

Luckily I could borrow a camera from our neighbours. This one is even better, so it isn't such a big problem.

This time, on request of Martin Visser, I kept the photo's bigger and searched for a new host wich could upload the bigger ones.

Photo's:















The mud (pigments) on the ERA blocks is removed after seeing the photo's.











Kits used:
Tamiya M2A2 Bradley
Fruilmodel Big Foot tracks
Armorscale Metal Barrel
Verlinden Reactive Armor.
2x JBModel 2m Aerials

Normally, I don't use so many kits, but for once, I thought it wasn't such a big problem.
