thank you, i'm glad you like it.

in fact the spare wheel looks like covered with mud, but i wanted to achieve effect of canvas or somehing like that. i choose the color not good enough.

the main problem (and warning for you) is that rubber tires could makes some damages to the styrene parts- sometimes it dissolves the plastic. so i took aluminium foil to divide 'rubber' and styrene, just in case. 

If I was to be in the next 'Mad Max / Road Warrior' movie that is the truck needed!

Outstanding finish, the weathering and built up dirt / dust look perfect.

Just one Q:

The spare tire, it seems caked in mud? Kind of a story line of a flat tire in the mud a few miles (Km's) back

Beautiful camo!  I like the muddy spare tire in the between.  Thanks for sharing with us!

Interesting subject, very well executed. Thank you for sharing.

thank you very much

i hope you will like the final result, too, because it is finished already:

To quote the great Jeff Spicolli....

'Awesome...totally awesome!'

Must say am impressed as usual. Your work has a quality not seen in quantity.

Almost finished. I've add some paintchips and dirt. There are only pigments and some final touches left

thank you very much

 What company is marketing the conversion?

KFS-miniatures :>

I hope it will be available next week

and the minor update on the vehicle: all colors, wash, flat varnish

Wow. Looks awesome! What company is marketing the conversion?

so.. finally, after few months i've received first castins for this conversion:

.. so immediately i've mount it to check if all is ok.. and i have to paint it for a boxart

In the last week on FOX news they have shown several shots of these things in use in Libya by both Gadaffi's forces and the rebels.  In every shot the launcher was shown as being level with the ground seeming to indicate use in the direct fire mode.  Not knowing the burn time of the rocket motors it is impossible to estimate an effective range.

Love the impressive scratch work on this build!  Please keep us updated.

You know, as I see this one coming to life with this latest update, the thought occurred to me that this must have been quite the experience for the crew/drivers to operate this particular vehicle. Not sure on the range of the rocket pod but I bet you were relatively up close and personal with it in terms of proximity to the target!

armor for the cab finished!

little update

side armor and first attempt to the front

the barrel will be casted in resin with its base.

..and I hope you find this building log interesting, not only as a kind of advertisement ..

Looking great!

Just one more Q:

Will the MG barrel be cast with the turret or be a separate brass AM part?

*Also there is a fine line between show & tell vrs. advertising on this site. The way around it is to post a link to the product information, this way interested people can click to check out order information etc. vrs. typing it out on these pages.

Not that I am affiliated other than a part time contributor to FSM magazine. There have been others who crossed the line & their posts & accounts vanished in short order.

Don't want to see that happen to you as I enjoy your posts & excellent work.

Taking pre-orders for the conversion set yet?

At this moment only declarations, because I can't estimate the final price of this set now. With no doubt the price will be reasonable :>

But If anyone of you are interested in this set, please, let me know.

I take the resin masters will need to be made before you can finish up. This being said I assume you will wait for a resin replica so the original master can be left unpainted in case additional cast molds need to be made?

indeed. I'm going to keep this styrene 'master' in a case it will be necessary to made more silicone casting molds. For boxart etc. I'm going to build it with resin castings

WOW! I'm not really an armour guy at all, but I love watching the scratchbuilding!

Taking pre-orders for the conversion set yet?

Looks awesome, should be a real stand out model on any contest table!

Regardless interesting WIP's. Nice to see some industry insight into the AM.

elevating mechanism

..so there is only cab's armor left

launcher's mount

UB launcher wil be divided for a two parts for casting.

I will not cast it myself, so I couldn't give you WIP pictures of this step.

little update

I am not really into modern armor but you sure have caught my attention.  Great work on scratchbuilding... that's something that scares me. Looking forward to your next update.

Looks great!

Is it to be cast in more than one part? If possible WIP's of the casting process would be of interest to myself and most likely others.

Thanks again for the informative WIP's!
