Greetings!

I want to introduce my diorama with BTR-80A - OFF roads!
The model by "Zvezda", with many improvements. Using aftermarket Elf, Eduard, MiniArm, Model Point, plastic sheet.







Base Frame 20x30 frame, then extruded polystyrene with a plastic sheet, the DAS clay, dale was covered with the composition of the loam + PVA + water for the ground texture.
Grass flock 4-5mm and tufts of grass on the Army of Painter. Post by Aber, with backups of dried clay. Fence of the plastic sheet and plastic square with giving tree structure. Puddles STILL water from Vallejo.



















Thank you for watching!

Wow, it's looking excellent. Mud is amazing, the model is well integrated with the stand. Beautiful job. I really like it.

Wow- what a fantastic result from Zvezda kit. Your improvements are excellent looking and you have made a wonderful base to show it off- particularly the wet mud- that looks incredible!

Really amazing job and I'm especially in love with the diorama base itself. Can you go into more detail on how you created it? Would be keen on attempting something similar myself.

Makes mud look beautiful! The base really gives the model a 'presence' and as always I love to see the photographs from scale eye level, for want of a better term. Great job.

Hi Sergey - thanks for posting this - great build! Very crisp detail - and balance of "wet" and "dry" surfaces looks very convincing - nice

Outstanding build, groundwork, and photography!

What really stands out, is that you've curved the muddy road, thereby showcasing the turning capabilities of the BTR!
