Hi there,

My current project is Miniart's kit BA-64 with crew.

The well known boxart of the kit :



This photo shows a heavily worn whitewash camouflage, exactly what I have planned to do :



Let's start with the build :















Interior painting :



The body glued together :



A dry fit :



Detailing of the turret (no episcopes in the kit, no grab handles) :





* tie downs were cleaned up a bit using laquer thinner.

Best regards.

may I be the first....

to welcome you back among the living

nice little bugger you have there!

hope to see what you are going to do with the paintjob!


your forgotten fan

Probably you're the last too...

I'm going to try a whitewash over a Russian green base color, in modulation style just for the fun of it. The build was a real pleasure to do, everything fits together perfect, only con is the kit has not enough detail. For example there are no episcopes for the turret, no grab handles for the commander/gunner...do a bit of simple scratchbuilding was necessary to obtain a moreless accurate Bad Ass 64.

Great job indeed so far

i have this kit in my stash, I'll follow your tread

cheers, thanks for sharing

At your service Mauro!

Turret was base painted, now it's time for Ivan's green!

?


anyways,nice to see you back ,how are you going to put the whitewash on? waterbased paints, hairspray tech? or are you going for your masterskills in oils?

Tha Pit

I'll go for a hairspray whitewash but I hope to make it look more attractive with oil paint stages. I gave the whole model a coat of Tamiya Clear.

slick paintjob as I'm used of you.
nice shadow's!

Thank you. Here's another update.

I've whitewashed the body.

Close ups of two panels :





Then I've added whitewash collected around bolts, grab handles, weld seams...

In progress :



G.

you're going for the layer technique,looking good so far

Guy I like the result of the worn away whitewash very much- well done

Thank you Pit and Pat.

Whitewashing almost done now...







G.

Looking graet so far Guy....

Thank you Hakan !

First washes and filters were added :









Before I continue weathering the body I'll go for the wheels/tyres...

you're apparently going for the very worn whitewash on this one, lot's of dust and mud to come?


Tha Pit

Mud and dust Pit, but not too much.

aha, going to put a figure with it?

I'm still figuring that out Pit.

This is the model so far, currently I'm adding light paint damage, and I'm finishing the wheels...



Enjoy o mighty hordes of BA 64B enthousiasts!

Fine tuning of the vehicle :

Paint damage :



Hit marks, one a bit rusty :



First stage of finishing up the exhaust :



G.

nice one G

like the little rust details, and the white parts around the visor/gunopenings, are gone too, you're creating great depth.

Tha Pit

Gettin' better Guy....

Looks great, love the 64. Built 3 of the old dogs, can't wait to build this new one. Keep up the great work.

Looking good guy
Good solution with the fenders.
I like the turret detail verry much!

Regards,

Remco

Thank you guys, there's still way to do so here's a new update : dust washes.
