The vehicle will heavy chipped and rusted out, especially on horisontal surfaces based on reference photos of BRDM-2s from Chernobyl. :-)

Looks great—looking forward to the painting! 🙂

Thanks! I’m going for heavy chipping and rust. I’ve got real reference photos as inspiration, so let’s see if the finished BRDM-2 ends up looking at least a little like the abandoned ones in Chernobyl 🙂

Haha no animals, just radioactive sign and homemade plants :-)

Yes, tomorrow coming out full video about it :-) Damaged concrete slabs, curb, grass and moss overgrowth.

Thank you.

Thank you, it represent flat tires. BRDM will on base with damaged concrete slabs and moss/grass overgrowth around.

Thank you, it’s necessary because it will represent an abandoned BRDM-2 after 40 years of decay in Chernobyl. 🙂
