BMD-2 from Panda models in 1/35. I built this one last year. Nice model but the tracks are real gym for the nerves. Every tooth on the track needs to be glued.
Model represent vehicle from Ukrainian crisis.
Thank you for watching.

That's a great looking AFV. Nice job on it!

Hi Ivan

Very nice model - well done!

Nice weathering

VERY nicely done. I am impressed. Everything ties together well also...the model looks like it belongs on the base.

The only suggestion I have is with the chain holding the tire on the rear. It looks too shiny and like it is made of copper. I think it distracts a bit from a excellent presentation. What do I think it should be? Metallic gray or black and dusty.

But do not let that bother you, it is a great build.

The chain looks rusty to me......

Thank you guys for taking a moment for watching and commenting. Chain is actually washed with rusty effects plus some black wash. Basic color of the chain was silver.

cheers

Outstanding work, Ivan! Please explain your technique for the track pad marks on the roadway-very, very effective. I MUST KNOW!

I stand corrected. When I look at the photos it seems like it is copper. Good work.

I really like this- simple but effective base presentation really lets the model shine while giving it a nice clear context. Ivan I think you have captured the look of many vehicles we see in the Ukrainian crisis- i.e. well used. The weathering you have done really brings the vehicle to life wonderfully.

Thank you again guys, much appreciated your comments.

@Joel: track/wheel marks on roadway are made using mixture of pigment and thinner. Soak the wheel or track into that mix, than made marks on the surface/diorama. Only be careful not to leave too much of mixture on the surface.
