Pick-up
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/7/0/0/1251700-97204-96-720.jpg)
This is very basic.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/7/0/1/1251701-97204-45-720.jpg)
The hubs were painted with Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminum.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/7/0/7/1251707-97204-76-720.jpg)
A black oil wash makes these more interesting.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/6/9/9/1251699-97204-52-720.jpg)
The seats started to get upgraded. I put wide 3M masking tape onto the surface, pressed into the crevices with a toothpick, and cut the edges with a #14 blade.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/0/2/1251702-97204-27-720.jpg)
Original vs tape covered seat.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/7/0/5/1251705-97204-27-720.jpg)
After painting the tape with gray, I started to create the damages with the point of the scalpel.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/7/0/3/1251703-97204-27-720.jpg)
The rubber parts are painted.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/7/0/4/1251704-97204-50-720.jpg)
The first big mistake. Painted the base with Vallejo Steel, then applied hair spray.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/7/0/6/1251706-97204-63-720.jpg)
Main color, with some dirt in the cabin. After the green, I sealed it with varnish - I should have not done that.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/7/0/8/1251708-97204-46-720.jpg)
After seeing lots of vehicles with added armor, I created these from 0.15 brass sheet.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/7/0/9/1251709-97204-48-720.jpg)
The logo is from a kit from AliExpress.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/7/1/3/1251713-97204-61-720.jpg)
I created the weld joins with Vallejo Putty, painted black, then highlighted with a grapthine pencil.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/7/1/0/1251710-97204-57-720.jpg)
The drum brakes got their rust (artist shop acrylic paints).
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/1/1/1251711-97204-97-720.jpg)
So, the platform's sides were made from thin plastic stripes and balsa wood.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/1/2/1251712-97204-29-720.jpg)
Some balsa weathering.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/7/1/4/1251714-97204-66-720.jpg)
A bit of looted gear on the truck (several details in a different album).
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/4/9/2/1278492-97204-35-720.jpg)
I'm still very stuck on this, but decided to apply the jolly joker of AFVs: mud. More mud. And then some more, to cover the mistakes.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/0/1/1/1284011-97204-62-720.jpg)
Started to add round screw heads by Meng. Strangely relaxing phase?
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/5/9/3/1309593-97204-34-720.jpg)
Almost finished the mud, only addig some dense mix to the wheel arches, and we're done (apart from the wheels, but I leave them out for now [need the tyres for creating pattern onto the diorama surface])
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/9/4/1309594-97204-30-720.jpg)

Album info
1/35 civilian vehicles aren't in abundance, and the best for this purpose was the 2-door variant from the Meng set. I wanted to open the doors, and the 4-door seemed too modern, albeit I can't specify the year or the place (somewhere in the former Soviet Union) the diorama takes place. The first few steps were quick, but recently I got stuck, my muse left me it seems... well, here's the story so far.
