GazB Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi all. This here is a culmination of a Bradley kit I got years ago, probably early 2000s, that sat on a shelf as a relatively simple job for the best part of ten years. I sprayed it over with the Tamiya sand can back in the day, added the decals without gloss, and painted the odd bit of detail. No weathering at all. Instead of buying a new kit, I repurposed it. I removed the flaking decals, fully repainted with a more accurate colour. Glossed, applied decals from the original sheet that I retained, sealed and weathered. Crew were repainted, and additional figures from Trumpeter and Masterbox were added, in addition to some Miniart and Meng extras. The external stowage is mostly original, just repainted, weathered, and more accurately attached, with a few other bits based on reference images. Do wish I had a shot of the vehicle as it originally looked to show the change, but much like an M1A2 I have had on the go in a similar manner, forgot to take a picture, heh. Thanks for looking Gaz 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask which paints you used for the figures? D Thanks, Vinnie, DeepSea ^-^/ The paints for the figures were (some had camo decals on them previously, but when I did the newer figures, it wasn't wrapping around, so I had to paint most of them a little to match up), if I remember correctly: Mig Ammo Middlestone A.MIG-200 Mig Ammo Red Brown Base A.MIG-913 (think it was this one) Mig Ammo Light Gray Green A.MIG-201 For the vests I think it was Tamiya NATO green, with Red Brown Base, Tamiya NATO Black, and Vallejo Medium Grey 70.987. The faces were a few Mig Ammo flesh tones Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this one painted up and decaled sitting for years before I redid it. Still wish I had the before and after, because the difference was stark to say the least 👀 Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanfrandragon Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Looks great, both the Bradley and the figures. Really nice composition. The snickers bars are an inspiration! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
