Impressive work

Bavel Cat
Jv, Thanks. I will try to sit down more often to build a model.

Michael Kohl
Was this color combination a standard for civil vehicles? I am asking because a week ago I saw one in southern Germany with exactly this livery.

Bavel Cat
Michael Kohl, Yes, this is the standard color of the 2018 anniversary UAZ 3909.

Michael Kohl
Thanks. Definitely an elegant choice of colors. Which ones did you use?

Bavel Cat
Michael Kohl, Thank you for your interest!
The main colors are glossy white (Revell acrylic) and Gray-blue A-18 m (ZIPmaket acrylic).

Mr D
Nice choice in kit 😁👍👍 has the Zvezda kit been well designed?
Nice work 👌

Bavel Cat
Mr D, The new models of the Zvezda company, it seems to me, are well developed. All the details fit together. The detail is at a good level.

Mr D
Great, thanks for letting me know, I'm big fan of soviet era stuff n Zvezda have good selection, lm thinking of doing a Mi-8 helicopter.... Chernobyl diorama in the winter.
All the best 👍👍

Mr D
Nice work👌 doing a good job...like the colour scheme

Bavel Cat
Mr D, You have an interesting idea. If you are worried about the quality of the model, I recommend that you first study the reviews on it.
But I usually focus on the assembly instructions 👌

I used the good wether today to work on the smaler parts for the Fallout diorama again. The most figures don't fit OOB, so are modified or combinations from different figures from the (up to now 4) figure sets.

Nicolas
Today I started assembling the next 3 figures, including one complete scratch build. I've never done that before, so I'm exited if it works at all.

Ben M
Very creative

Doubtingmango
Watching

Nicolas
Welcome, grab chairs.
Thanks Ben.

Nicolas
Today I fitted the Rider to the motorcycle. The other figures just recived a little bit of putty.

Christoph Kunz
Nice 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Impressive work 🙂

Nicolas
Thanks guys.

Nicolas
I fixed the figures to corks and primed them with Revell 008 Black. Now I can see some small mistakes wich require some attention. The camera dosn't show that to well.

Erik
Very cool, even with Brahmins. 👍 😎

Shar Dipree
Watching. will you also open a photo album for the entire project?

Nicolas
Hi Erik and Shar, welcome.
@Shar: At the moment I'm thinking about adding 2 more albums, one for infrastructure & buildings and one for the base witch would than include the entire project. For me, this makes the most sense, as I also proceed in the same way when building. The finished figures then go into the display case until I need them in the building or on vehicles, which are then back in the display case until the base is finished. As I use the albums here to keep an overview over the project I find everything faster.

Nicolas
In the last week I reworked the seams & the details (1 or 2 figures a day) primed it yesterday Black (Revell Emaile 08) and added some White (Revell 04) ftom above to help with shadows & light.

Nicolas
I worked today for nearly 5 h on basic painting of the clothes. As I will probably not use the girl with the crossbow I want to try some things here, but wasn't motivated in the end. Next weekend I want to start with the skin.

Nicolas
I started working on the skin this weekend. Due to the dark base the coverage is bad. So I decided that final skin painting has to wait at least a week till the paint is dry enough for the next layer without working to much in the first one (I'm using oils here).
