Good day!
Represents a model BTR-80 in Chechnya on the 20th anniversary of the first Chechen war.
The model has become for me the first "modern" was a little unusual work.
In general, the work with model was pleasant, did not cause any complaints. Detailing was problematic. If you do it right - it is necessary to completely remodel the interior. In general, what gives Trump - "halophyte", a kind of transition option with elements of early and late cars.
Also, I made a mistake at the stern is not putty a couple holes filler caps, and learned about it only after painting, remodel it was too late.
Figure Evolution miniatures (6 figure I painted, and the first resin). Really enjoyed working with this great figure!
The prototype served as camouflage machine 22 photos.
Painting of Tamiya, vallejo. Weathering - AK, AMMO.
Though a bit let down photos, white shines, so dirt and dust sometimes hard to see.
So something like this

Wow- excellent rendition of the BTR-80- great weathering and the figure really compliments it nicely on the base. The backdrop in your first photo is also excellent- it sets the scene really well.
