Guys I need some help.
At the beginning I was planning to put 2S19 MSTA-S as a cargo but now I moved 2S19 to another project (to display it with 1K17 Szhatie as they share the same hull) and I need some help what should I put instead of 2S19.
I was thinking about 2S6M Tunguska but do you have any other ideas?

Bart Goesaert
Nice work so far on this one...

Do you want to do something more common or exotic? When looking into your stash you can add a M-163, DANA, Tunguska, AH-1 Cobra... as in transported to a museum or with some coalition. A BMP-T, BTR-D would also be nice...

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thanks Bart. I checked the topic you posted and I think I will stick to some not-flying stuff. I thought about Tunguska, I saw somewhere a nice photo of such configuration, but DANA sounds promising. I will have to check if they were exported to RUS or UKR.
Thank you again Bart for your ideas.

2 September 2015, 13:12

Bart Goesaert
some Afghan situated breakdown could also be possible, enough russian stuff there, and DANA's operated over there to...

You could also add an BMP-2 or T-64BV or 2S3 as cargo. Like it is transported to the battlefield or back.

28 February 2018, 13:19

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
I decided to replace Tunguska w with T-84 Oplot. I hope it will arrive soon as I ordered it today and I'm getting close to the finish with Kraz

amazing paint job. excellent deail. As usual Przemek 🙂

8 March 2018, 17:15

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thank you Spanjaard - you're too kind.

Is anyone encountered rubber tires issue like permanent gloss?
I've treated the wheels as usual but after few days I've noticed that paint is fading and tires are getting semi gloss. I've used Alclad Klear Kote Flat on them and they got sticky and more glossy.
Even after pigments they are flat at the beginning but after day or two - surprise gloss again.

great thing!

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thank you. I'm quite pleased with the effect. Still some things needs to be corrected like glossy tires but it's almost end.

22 March 2018, 06:41

Spanjaard
amazing result so far. the weathering and chipping is simply perfect.

22 March 2018, 07:53

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thank you very much Spahjaard. I'm not a big fan of pigments, I always worry that I will put too much and somehow destroy painting but in this case I tried to experiment and use more pigments.

22 March 2018, 13:02

Spanjaard
great result!

22 March 2018, 19:16

Mike Daniels
Thats superb weathering. Great job Prezemek. The faded wooden planks in particular.

22 March 2018, 19:49

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thank you gents 😉
I've added some dust and dry brush, fuel stains and some cans, ammo crates to turret basket.
That's pretty much over.

24 March 2018, 15:35

Soeren R.
Wow...
Thats awesome work mate!

24 March 2018, 16:06

Thank you very much Soeren and Mike and Augie and James and Bart. 😉

Bart - except the tracks it's a straightforward build, nice and easy.

Mike Daniels
Just wondering what you use for the 'sand' effect? Is it real sand ?

26 March 2018, 09:48

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Hi Mike,
It this case I didn't use sand - I used Vallejo pigments mixed with plaster. It was applied using old stiff brush and a toothpick.

26 March 2018, 09:53

Mike Daniels
Oh thanks. That is really effective. Its all in the flicking action then!!

26 March 2018, 10:06

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Yes, exactly. Only on horizontal surfaces I used different technique. First some pigments were applied straight from jar (you can spread them with brush), then pigment fixer using pipette and when still wet again some pigments (tapping brush like cigar to create clumps).

Weathering is awesome

26 March 2018, 23:46

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thank you very much Predrag, Rui and Terry.
First time I combine some techniques and I'm glad that you like it.

29 March 2018, 12:28

Scott Dutton
As always, simply incredible. The weathering is amazing, the results you have with the accumulated dirt on the trailer structure is just gorgeous, very realistic, I dont know how you get it to not look just like its covered in dirt, the less is more, you have perfected that. The other amazing thing, the rate you produce such quality, you'd expect 1/year at this quality. I salute you.

29 March 2018, 13:31

Przemek Przybulewski Автор
Thank you very much Scott, you're too kind. Now you made me blush.
