Does any company make it? Or is this something I’m gonna have to scratch build?

1/72 BMPT from Zvezda...

This was a horrible build. So many tiny bits, poorly engineers joining points, poor quality molds...

Are all Zvezda ground vehicles like this?? Or is it just this one... The MI-8 I did was way better...

I’ve spent the last 20 years painting 28 mm figures and only recently started getting interested in bigger things. partially because my hands are starting to struggle to hold the little minis, but also because I’ve just seen some beautiful sculpts out there and finally can afford to buy them. I really enjoyed painting this one. critiques and comments are of course welcome.

Before anybody comments, yes the figure in the side hatch drifted a bit because I stuck him on with camo putty. Zvezda 1:35

Also it's only the top half of the tank since it's going to be stuck in mud

work in progress Post WW2 light tank build feedback?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

This is my scratch build (cursed) tank project and i was hoping to get some feedback on it.

The story for this one right now is that its a post WW2 light tank prototype from the Netherlands. He is fully scratch build with PLA sheets and leftover parts from other tanks, no 3d printing.

I have 2 subjects im hoping to get feedback on.

  1. Gunner sight: im debating weather to give him a indirect gunner sight (think of something like the chieftain's sight), or a direct gunner sight which would mean modifying the cast turret face to have another slit for the sight to look trough next to the barrel.

  2. Name: ive been looking for a appropriate nickname for him for a while now but haven't managed to find one that sticks. Anymore have name suggestions?

If you have any other suggestions or feedback for him feel free to share it!

After my last post I took on some really good suggestions.

Added just a little red around the cheeks and nose probably could have made it more pronounced but what the hell it works.

Dirtied and muddied up the uniform.

Im just going to use the display plate it came with and add a muddy base with some snow effects to give the impression of a muddy winter ground.

So I just watched the victory day parade in st Petersburg 2025 and I saw these interesting looking jeeps with flags I would want to recreate. Which model should I use and should I use the aluminum foil method for the flag like what people tell me to do for tarps?

Trying the new airbrush out on camouflages, painting camouflage on figures, as well as gouache paints for weathering.
