I will follow how you paint that BRdM. I have never made a rusty model, I will take a close look on it.

Ready for hairspray.

Base coat of sand and strating with the masking putty:




Finnished with masking putty:



Finnished with Russian green coat and starting to remove putty:





Starting to remove paint to show rust:

I don´t want to overdo the rust. I think that is enough. Now starts the weathering process. I need to make that paint look faded and old. A couple of washes and filters should do the trick. Some rust and grime streaking, then dust it up with pigments.

I did a couple of washes with Mig and AK washes, did a filter with oils, and starting doing streaking effects but some of my filter started coming off so I will give it a couple of days to completely dry and cure. Then I will finnish the grime streaking and also do some rust streaking.

coming along nicely

Thank you Maarten.

Finnished with the washes and streaking and I think almost done with pigments:




Also tried the figures on.

A little update pic:

Can't see the pic. Broken link??

Sorry about the link:

That is lookin' really good so far. Nice weathering and rust work.

Thank you Jerry!

It's really nice! As I told you before, figs are amazing. I like BRDM's lower side a lot. Very good detailed and rusted.

I think I am done with the BRDM:





Any suggestions/observations?

With the figures added:

Very cool Marcos , this turned out a beauty !!!

Thank you Cheyenne!

Now I start work on the actual dirama. Fun!

Those figures look great! I've found that when highlighting camo uniforms, Vallejo glaze medium is a big help. I mix 3 parts glaze medium to 1 part highlight color (usually beige or ivory) and apply very thin highlights, building up in several coats. The result is an even highlight across all your camo colors. I'll try to post a picture of what I'm talking about soon.

thank you Jasper. I would love to see that picture.

Added a fifth figure to the BRDM. Pictures with natural lighting. Not direct sun light though. Playing with the layout for the dio:

Marcos, those vehicle are turning superbs!! The BDRM crew is so funny to see, and perfectly made.

Congrats, amigo.

Hi Marcos - wow! This looks great! I like the clear contrast in sharpness between the figures (crisp) and the weathered vehicles - nice! Am looking forward to seeing this in the dio

Cheers

Thank you Nacho and Nick. Cheers!
