NöNö Bärs Military Vehicles (Completed: Ukraine Leopard 1 tank)

[zenrat]

Thanks Rick.
I have the ICM 1/72 G4 but it doesn't have a dictator with it.

The Hasegawa kit has six figures with it, and the arm of the guy in the fornt right can be attached in various positions.....
However, I like the G4 after I saw it in a musem quite a while ago, so I was lucky to find this kit anyway.

For sure it's such a neat looking machine. Elegant yet so brutish.

One of the smaller kits I had in my pile of model, a ICM BTR152 in 1/72.

As I made one of those as a "regular" non-what-if, so this one should be pimped a bit.

Don't know about the backstory of it yet, but maybe some post-apocalypse vehicle, a rebel vehicle somewhere in the former soviet states, a post-brexit gang car or whatever. Have to see how this will end. Or maybe just a vehicle used by the A-Team, so BA has to add a lot of things to it.... 




Progress so far, plus some camo nets to be added to it

[Rick Lowe]

Yeah, it's not a bad wee kit, though the suspension gave me a few headaches.
The regular truck is very good, too.

[nönöbär]

The basic model is done now, so now lets add a few things to make it post-apocalyptic or whatever.... 



It definitly needs a bigger front bumper. Plus some camo-nets that are made already.

Neat build

That would make a good vehicle for the PDRV Secret State Police.

Looks very good.  Those small scale ICM kits really are nice.  I've not found a bad one yet.  You do have to pay attention for some of the more complex parts as the instructions tend to be of the "exploding diagram" kind.

I made one of those vehicles already, so I knew how the instructions would be. And in the end, those little kits are not too bad at all.
This will be a vehicle of the MLA - and this does not stand for "Malta Luqa Airport" 
More about it later....

[nönöbär]

My MLA vehicle is now mostly done, a few little things are still missing. I did not use the new bumper as I did not like the look. Also skipped a few other additions as they did not look as I wanted them.

So here we go with a WIP pic:

Looking good

Watching the recent news, the idea of a little diorama came up. An I do not have any of the required models in stack, everything will be 3d printed, luckily you find a lot of free printable 3D models in the web

Scale will be 1:100

To start with, we need a tank. So this will be a T72 as it just comes out of the printer


The gun is printed of its own:


Cleaned, cured and put together:


Every tank needs it worthy opponent, and the best I can think of will be its natural enemy


Some more parts for it


Testing a part of the diorama plate, the street is some model train decoration

LOVE it!

I'm absolutely fascinated by those 3D prints. Thanks for showing us them as they come out of the printer
