Factory Tour Number Three. Almost Done with Some. Not as Many Pics

Well, here we are at the third tour of my Factory. We'll start today at the paint booth where all of these guys have been painted, and some have gotten some details added. Others are awaiting additional coats.

This is my progress on my BRDM 2. All I have left is to paint the splashguard and the wheel hubs, coat it, decal it and then wash and drybrush.



Unfortunately, the decals got caught in the rain. We had a bad storm blow through, and my hobby room window was open. The rain got blown in by the high winds that also cut off our electricity, and now I don't think they are useable anymore. I do believe I have some extra aftermarket decals that would work though.

Next is my BRDM with Saggers. This is a pic of the launcher assembly upside down. I have the launcher arms painted a metallic black and the missiles are Olive Drab.



Here it is with the launcher assembly test fit. It's had alot of gap-filling CA glue and sanding done to it here to take care of the gaps. You can see from all the paint sanded off where the problem areas are. The other white areas are the detail parts added to the hull. This one will be getting a new coat soon. The wheels are off because they are rubber.



Here is the BTR 60 fully painted. Now I have to make all the wheels for it, and then paint the hubs before adding the rubber tires. After that, it is ready for clearcoat, decals and detailing.



My Tunguska is basecoated here. Now I have to add details and mount the tracks. Then comes the camo pattern. This one has a way to go.



Meanwhile, my Panther has received a coat of paint on the wheels and tracks.



Finally, here is two views of my T-72 tank that shows the tracks and wheels painted, as well as the detail on the grills and exhaust.





That concludes this tour. As before, hamburgers are being served in the veranda. I look forward to seeing everyone for the rollout of these vehicles, as well as the start of another Factory Tour featuring all new projects!
