Thanks Tanker-Builder.  I do enjoy adding all the little interior details, even though much of it will not be seen.

I have finally finished this one up. I ended up using the two Evolution Miniatures figures above. On the standing guy, I cut his jacket off to make it shorter, replaced his head w/one wearing a knit cap, and replaced the PPSh-41 for a shotgun.

The kneeling guy I cut off at the waist and stood him up more so he wasn’t bending down as far. I also repositioned his arms and replaced his hands to hold the tow clevises.

Here is the overall scene with the tractor getting ready to tow away the BMP-2. I added the road sign and debris around the BMP-2 for some atmosphere as well.

 

A couple more detailed pics.

Its all done and ready to go for the Modelpalooza IPMS show in Orlando this weekend. Wish me luck with it.

Good luck at the show, you've got a winner here. Love it. The scratch building and interior work are great, and so are all of the other little touches that tie it all together, from the bottles and trash to the road sign and the hand painted invasion markings. This honestly looks like something taken from the headlines. The extra work you did on the tractor paid off too. The weathering on it is good, it looks like accumulated sand and road salt. Thanks for posting it.

Right on Gino! The figures bring it to life - great job posing the guy with the cables.  Best of luck at the show.

Thanks,

John

Yeah, that looks great! The figures, the trash on the ground, and the weathering on the vehicles all complete the scene. Heart
