Hi everyone :-)

Tried to recreate weld beads on a flat piece of plastic.

What do you think as welders? :-)

Hi everyone 🙂
I tried some alchemy — my attempt was to turn plastic into metal.
Is the result convincing, or completely off?

Thanks for watching, every comment is appreciated 🙂

Hi everyone,

All three weathered using the same basic techniques — drybrush, sponge chipping, brush chipping, hairspray chipping, pin wash, rust oils and dust/mud effects. The ZIL-157 spare wheel actually ended up in my Chernobyl BRDM-2 diorama.

Thanks for looking — any feedback appreciated. :-)

Hi everyone,

Here is the vegetation I used in the Chernobyl diorama, all handmade — small pine tree, ground plants, tall plants and a small flower. Materials used were paper, stabilised asparagus, natural roots and leaves from Model Scene for tall plants.

Thanks for looking — any feedback is appreciated. :-)

BRDM-2 abandoned in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone — 40 years forgotten in the Zone.

1/35 scale model built and weathered to recreate the real abandoned vehicles still sitting there today.

40 years abandoned. Still remembered.

Hi everyone, I am here again haha.

Here is the finished Chernobyl BRDM-2 diorama — 1/35 Trumpeter kit, fully scratchbuilt base with handmade paper vegetation, broken concrete slabs and curb, moss and static grass. Weathering done with hairspray chipping, oil paints and enamel effects.

The vehicle is based on real abandoned BRDM-2s still sitting in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Tried to capture 40 years of decay and neglect as accurately as possible.

Hi everyone,

Here is BRDM-2, painted and weathered as an abandoned vehicle inspired by the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

The goal was to push a heavily weathered, long-term decay look — rust layers, faded and chipped paint and environmental staining, while keeping the vehicle structure readable. All weathering was done with acrylics, oils, and enamels in layered passes.

This is part of an ongoing diorama series focused on Chernobyl´s vehicle graveyard.
