Continuing my travels back in time, here is another build which I finished in 2013, a captured North Korean BA-64. Based on Vulcan Models BA-64.
The main purpose for this build was that I wanted to practice and develop my very poor weathering skills, and as such the build was supposed to be quick and "out of the box" so I could quickly get to the painting stage. Well, it did not quite turn out that way. There were lots of missing items in the interior, and the exterior also received a number of scratchbuilt updated and also weld seams using Archer weld seam 3D decals.
Tools and other interior/exterior details were left off to accentuate the "captured vehicle" feel.
Markings were are custom made, applying them one letter at a time. I chose to place the name "Jeanie" on the other side of the vehicle for a better balance (I did not have any pics of the other side of the vehicle).
For what its worth, here are some pics (lots of them) covering the whole process.
Thanks for looking and as always, feedback is welcome. :-)
