Green Sea Turtle ??
After finishing ny red Lancer, which took some time, i was supposed to start and finish my last BRDM of the trio, but I just could not get started although the parts were cut and ready for assembly! So after a period of doing nothing I found that I had a Green Sea Turtle model! A Canon /Creative park.. product. I did not think that it would amount to anything , but for some reason I started cutting the complex pattern and proceeded to assemble the plates using clamps and clothes pegs...the result was quite interesting...a strange model in my collection of serious armor and aircraft!! Check it out.

I'd say you did a right good job on it. You could classify it as armor you know....

That turned out great! The white and the patterns helps to disguise a lot of the build very well!

kevin I use pastels rubbed on fine silicon carbide 1500 a mix of brown, green and black..I rub a mix of those with my finger and go over the white edges after trimming any overhangs...the development pattern was very good but it required a lot of clamping to achieve to curved surfaces, it did require forcing lines to meet especially around the tail end...I did not follow the instructions for completing the two shells separately the joining them...that would had have ended very lopsided, Started from the neck backwards joining the plates a sit progressed towards the other end, then a lot of modeling and forcing parts together got it done in a quite decent way (which I did not expect) thanks gents...I really want to start that BRDM 2...
