BA64-B Miniart ...first paint...

Vision models/Miniart Ba64-B. A tiny little armoured car which i VOWED to keep OOTB. Naturally as the build progressed I made some alterations...but I did resist getting resin wheels. It builds in a cute little model...and I have to say I enjoyed the fast build. Therapy from super detailed models!

I agree very cute model, I am tempted to fit an engine as they omitted it, the only downfall of this gem! But as usual I put asidethe project and elected as another shelf queen

Sometimes you need a quick OOTB or almost project to rest from the worries of a super detailed project...

@ Ivan it will be whitewashed...

pen drive please

Only some minor weld marks to add at some small attachment points. Was meant to be a quick OOTB project. In the end I succumbed to detailing some parts mainly the spare wheel frame, the exhaust muffler and fitting, the flash light, the steering system and the many tool fittings. All parts were scratch built and I even resisted buying aftermarket resin wheels LOL. The finished model will feature some tarps on the spare wheel frame and one covering the open turret. It will be given a worn white wash look....

Nice fast build Dottore, now start painting ...

if only i could build my models as neat and tidy as you do
one small comment the handle bar on the front hood is it a tid overscale?

that is because its an overhead photo

I originally shaped the handle according to the model piece...then i noticed on pics it was overscale. Now that you point it out too it is bothering me even more hence I will remove and replace...

Thanks for the pointer cus...

well you know me i see the straw in other peoples eye but do not see the beam in mine.lol

ONE OTHER THING IS IT TOO LATE TO REPLACE THE MG WITH A RESIN ONE (WHICH I CAN OBVIOUSLY SUPPLY)

What a great looking model Dottore. Man your building is so neat, you are the equivalent of our Joseph Fenech but for AFV's. Lovely work!!

paint will arrive soon I hope...as soon as I correct the handle and add some weld marks.
Alex MG is not fixed...unbelievable was going to PM you to see if you knew a source for a good resin MG LOL. Its one of the reasons why I'm going to add a tarp to the turret top...the other being the spartan interiors....

see what a genious of a cus you have. amongst others i have the ability to mind read and not just normal minds even ideciferable ones as well

model is primed and ready for soem russian 4BO paint and a faded whitewash application...I made a tarp with Kneadtite green stuff to hide the barren interior...

All comments welcome...

Dottore

I think that it's coming in the blood, to build armed cars.. anyway nice build and good subjects.......

Amazingly neat work Dottore, prosit

where"s the green?
as usual up to your impeccable finnish

I'm not sure about the tarp's shape

I don't know what shapes they come in, squares or rectangles that is why I'm asking

The rightback side view is giving me a very ODD shape

Looking cool, the usual sharp and clean construction.

I am seeing NO 4B0???????
