Assembled and camouflaged, just need to add the finer more breakable details, weathering and mount it on a base.

Commissioned work, flawless kit, added some engine, brake wires and light weathering.

Do you think model etch sheets are useful?

Hi everyone,

Here is BRDM-2, painted and weathered as an abandoned vehicle inspired by the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

The goal was to push a heavily weathered, long-term decay look — rust layers, faded and chipped paint and environmental staining, while keeping the vehicle structure readable. All weathering was done with acrylics, oils, and enamels in layered passes.

This is part of an ongoing diorama series focused on Chernobyl´s vehicle graveyard.

Thanks for looking — any feedback is appreciated. :-)
