Here's the state of the latest Humvee in my collection now:

I'm fond of how the green turned out, and the liberal coating of mud.

More a write up's over on my blog, just as it includes a few pictures of the real thing and I don't want to go awry of the admins.

Next on the list's the last squad in the original platoon of Russians which I'd posted in the original post on this thread. ...Yeah, they've taken me a while. As is a little guy armed with a Steyr AUG among them fighting for the opposite side. Then I'll maybe digress a bit and work on stuff other than for my Eastern European moderns, as I have some models destined to be Israelis (SASM Polish GROM) in need of paint. Though by that point it'll be the end of the month and I can finally buy those bits that have been holding that restaurant build back (no pay for two months makes me sad...).

Nice!

Interesting read.
It is a distinctive looking vehicle. I look forward to you building the twin DSHK one.

I might borrow the colours (not the "invasion stripes") for my Tigr (and BMD).

As far as I know, "Tiger" in Ukraine was not used by either side.

I have a photo of "Hamvi," which was used by the SBU (the Security Service of Ukraine - the Ukrainian counterpart of the FSB or the CIA)

Sorry, I was unclear, the Tigr was for Russian use (sales mission in Tazbekistan?).
The BMD is dual purpose, Twilight 2000 and possibly Tazbekistan (the Tazbeki army traded theirs in for ex-BW M113 a while ago).

I just liked the colour (in a current modelling magazine it looks too much like black)

Tazbekistan - your spelling may vary...

The Tigr works as both a military and police vehicle, so in cases of fictional modern conflicts you could get away with having it operating within territories now captured by Russia. I.e. the army advances, and police anti-terrorism units clear out insurgents behind the lines.

I would like to see someone make a Gaz Vodnik or a BPM-97 in 1/50th at some point. Though you could make a Vodnik using the Tigr as a base - as it uses the same chassis. Just using the wheels and dimensions. I have a spare BPPU BTR-80A turret sitting about, and I'm still debating whether to use it on one of those two vehicles, or instead retroactively add it to a BTR-60 or 70 as a modernization.

* Edit, I wonder if anyone does a 1/50th Kamaz 4326 Truck? Could use the wheels and dimensions of that for a BPM-97.

On the "Tigers" can also move Russian special forces:

A slightly action movie esque leader for my Cossacks.

Yes, that is a sword and cape. ...The cape's to cover up a slip up with his right arm, but fits the bill.

Nice job.

The stupid barrel's already broken off (like every other one from that kit). Guess he's getting a suppressor now...

Wyrmalla · « **Reply #297 on:** August 25, 2018, 10:02:49 PM »

And a female soldier as well. Probably a medic (with that big pack on her right thigh).

Since fixed the hands. She's still drying.

Wow, nice job.

Another quick round up on what's been going on at SASM's been posted on that blog of mine. The new and upcoming releases this time cover more moderns, along with some more generic Middle Eastern civilians, under cover American Special Forces in Afghanistan, and more (sales!

).
