1/72 Russian Military Outpost

[PrivateMansoor]

I have started work on the Hobbyboss 1/72 Mi-4 Hound.

I have built the cockpit. I gave all the parts a wash to bring out the details as well.











This was painted and then given a wash



I really like this cockpit panel.




Applied some spare PE seat belts.

It is turning out great and you look like you are having fun.
I also like the gator chopper
Amazed at how fast you build, need that at my model desk to get me moving!

Thanks Antonio

More work done,

I have given the model a wash with vallejo black model wash. I also put the landing gear on.

I plan to keep the cargo bay open, and required some stock to keep in the bay. I made a pallete from some balsa wood, placed two barrels on it.

Filling in the gaps








Given a wash with vallejo black model wash









Used a light grey vallejo wash for the underside




Used Balsa wood to star making a palette










Then made two barrels using Italeri Battlefield accessories set.




Morale for the men!






Then decided to scratch build a ladder












I painted it a metallic grey, but I think I should have gone with a wood colout. Might re-paint it tomorrow after I see how it looks then.








Will do some more work and hopefully finish this model in the coming week.

Sad day . I lost the decals for my S-Model 1/72 Gaz Jeeps.

Its just put a massive dent in my motivation.

In any case here are the pictures of my work for today. I have nearly finished the Mi-4 Helo. I am waiting on some acrylic paint so I can paint the canopy, as I never paint canopies with enamels - too many painful incidents.

We'll start with the Gaz jeep.

This is were I left it last. I have given it a vallejo model black wash.




Applied PE parts




Painted PE






Weathered it using Tamiya Weathering Master










Here is when I realised... I HAVE LOST THE DECALS..., went berserk and looked all over for them but to no avail.



I will leave this as is, hoping that those decals turn up somewhere, otherwise will just use the spare decals from the Fuel Bowser Truck I built earlier.

Here are pictures of where the Mi-4 is at and the diorama overall. I am painting the canopy for the Hound should be finished today.





I dont like that ladder, might get rid of it















I will finish the canopy and get rid of the ladder as it is un even. I have started work on another gaz jeep and will post pics soon.
