Well, aside from the 10+ inches of snow in the last two weeks, and the -20 to -30 F temps at night we are getting here, I am actually getting some work done, here is proof:
Soviet BMP-2 early. This is the 1/35 DML kit with a SP Designs new upper hull and a SP Designs early BMP-2 turret. It does not show, but I opened up the barrel and "baffle" on the Auto-cannon barrel, hard work but it saves me from having to pony up for the Model point barrel.
Russian BZM. Another 1/35 Conversion from SP Designs. Pretty easy conversion with only 3 pieces. I put it on a DML kit. Real vehicle is a preproduction/test vehcile used to carry fuel and lubricants in a hostile rear-area. Based on lessons learned in Chechnya.
And the piece-de-resistance...my T-72 ROBAT. I based this on a idea of the russian answer to the US Panther and Panther II. Just the HORRIBLE Trumpeter T-72 kit with fixes, adjustments, and DML reactive armor from their T-72 w/ERA kit. I used new chain for the mineroller, and rebult the rear deck grille...the Trumpeter stickers, yes stickers, were too much for even I to handle.
I think the T-72 ROBAT will be a TW2000/2004 entry. :-)
