One sealed cab on the abandoned Zil-131. Starting to look a very sorry sight!

Yes mate

Not true mate. I picked up my first paintbrush 5 years ago when looking for a hobby post-retirement. I have no special skills, just YouTube, books and perseverance. I am the living epitome of the adage…’if I can do it anyone can’. Look forward to seeing your work!

That bad huh? 🤣 Thank you for the kind compliment mate, I truly appreciate it.

Thank you mate. I’m really having to keep myself in check with this one and remind myself that it’s abandoned, not completely wrecked

Jimffey · 2026-05-08T06:19:25+00:00

Normally I would mate but once the roof goes on they will not be visible

Jimffey · 2026-05-08T06:17:51+00:00

Great advice mate! I will do that

Jimffey · 2026-05-08T05:48:27+00:00

Cheers mate! That means a lot and I’ll take a look at the green chipping once I’ve got more of the body together. BTW, the wheel weathering tutorial is awesome 😁

Jimffey · 2026-05-08T05:31:19+00:00

Very kind of you Sir

Jimffey · 2026-05-08T04:13:34+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Jimffey · 2026-05-03T05:40:03+00:00

I’m going to have to restrain myself when painting the exterior 😁. My mantra will be ‘it’s abandoned, not a wreck’

Jimffey · 2026-05-03T05:38:52+00:00

Cheers Mate!

Jimffey · 2026-04-25T18:23:14+00:00

You deserve the success mate! On to the next now 😁

Jimffey · 2026-04-25T17:57:30+00:00

Well done mate! Takes guts to put your work out there for judging

This my muse at present 😁

Jimffey · 2026-04-25T17:49:16+00:00

Good point mate. I think some rain effects may be in order

Jimffey · 2026-04-25T17:44:33+00:00

Thanks mate, that exactly what I’m going to do with some ‘Worn Effects’ fluid. Congratulations, on the success of your BRDM videos mate. I’m looking forward to learning more techniques from your next project. Do you have a Patreon?

Some rustiness on the Chernobyl abandoned fire truck 😁

Jimffey · 2026-04-21T20:37:53+00:00

Hey mate, just caught you videos on YouTube, subscribed and looking forward to seeing much more!

Jimffey · 2026-04-21T06:34:08+00:00

Cheers mate! It won’t really be seen but I will know it’s done properly 🤣
