Syrian Dalek
Added some extra armour to my BMP VBIED and removed the crew....most of the time it will be a static target anyway. Also added a Syrian Dalek...basically a towed BMP-1 turret. Yes, really.
I guess that towed BMP turret operates under the same philosophy as WWII towed anti-tank guns, mainly that it has a tiny profile, and is hard to hit. (although a BMP is already pretty low)
Fantastic work mate. I particularly love the VBIED. Ive got a similar conversion sitting on my workbench currently. Still trying to get my sandbags to look as neat as yours!
Thx Ben. Don't make them look too neat! All work is done with a wet toothpick and a wet scalpelblade and a Mark 1 wet finger....think I have done over a 100 of them now on various builds, if not more....
Awesome. Excellent research.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThx, it was great to make this tiny build work. Hopefully the paintjob will do it justice.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenYup, think so. Can't say they covered it up very well in the picture, but hey....

VerwijderenVery nice work Johan.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenCheers,

Thank you Pete :)
VerwijderenFid you bother to plate over one of the rear doors of the BMP? was reading a blog post on SVBIED BMPs and apparently that was a common modification?
VerwijderenCheers,
Pete.
Of course Pete ☺
VerwijderenExcellent job! You've become quite the master when it comes to scratchbuilding.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm loving it 😁
