At my website, I've posted a tutorial on speed painting 3 QRF BMP-2s. 3 models in one hour.
More pictures and a step by step tutorial at the site link |

Looks great, though that third one appears to have shrunk a bit. |

Really nice job, especially in the time (and including pretty effective stripping!) The BMP-2 cannon normally appears to be flat black

They look super. Nice looking model too. We really do live in a golden age of talented sculptors. |

The gun barrels are gunmetal colored for the simple reason that I thought it would look good. As the article states, the camouflage scheme is the one I use for my imagi-nation, the Kingdom of Austral (though it is based on an actual Russian camouflage scheme). And, as Geoff's photo shows, some BMP-2 have black or gunmetal cannon. For the model, I chose to exaggerate the metallic effect by using a mix of silver and gunmetal. My painting techniques routinely exaggerate colors, shadowing and highlighting. As I say in my blog, I'm a gamer not a modeler. Oh, and the bottom photo in the original post shows a QRF 15mm model with a GHQ 1/285 scale model BMP-1. The stripping process (the models were 14 year old models originally painted in 2001) did turn out surprisingly well: From this

As stated, I used Purple Power to strip the models. |

Loevly model beautifully painted! (That scheme reminds me of the Kuwaiti defence forces (later model 3 shown below):

That's not a Kuwaiti BMP 3 it's a UAE. ( I've served in Kuwaiti BMP 2s, ) |
