1/6th scale Bradley IFV

[panzerace007]

Hey GUYS & Girls,

Here is 21st. Century's 1/6th scale Bradley IFV. A friend of mine collects these Massive toys & wanted me to Paint it up in a Desert Scheme. I looked around & asked some friends of mine. I ended up getting some pix of Bradley's that were used by the 1st. Armored Division and this Camo Scheme depicts a Bradley in that Camo Scheme as They landed in Kuwait , just before the Fighting started for Desert Storm. It took a Ton of paint to get this Bradley in Line. It was finished off with ModelMakerz Desert Pigments. I airbrushed th pigments on & mixed it with ModelMakerz Thinner/Fixative.

Here's th run down on the Paint & Pigs !
7 rattle cans of Tamiya Light Sand
12 bottles of Tamiya Flat Brown !!
1 bottle of Tamiya Flat Black
1 1/2 bottles of ModelMakerz Desert Sand pigments
2 bottles of ModelMakerz Thinner/Fixative
& some Vallejo Black to finish off the Gun Barrels & Antennas

The Tools were base coated with Tamiya Deck Tan & then I added Windsor & Newtons Raw Umber in a short V pattern & let sit on the tools for 20 minutes & then "streaked" with an Eye Shadow applicator.

Enjoy !

Here is a before shot of the Vehicle

RAIDER,

I'll take a picture tomorrow & post it, but this IFV weighs in @ 20 pounds & is almost 2' long , & as you can see it almost takes up the Entire Kitchen Table !!

That looks good . What a huge undertaking.I saw that monster saying it takes up the kitchen table is an understatement.
Awesome job bro........ now you can give us some insight into the amazing pe work you have been doing.

Well that is a huge improvment over the factory paint. I love it when you get something big enough to get away with using rattle cans!

I like what you have done here.

These big ones are really neat, but I have no idea where I'd put something like that.

Everythings good, thanks. We have been soooo busy lately I cannot describe it. I normally work 4, 10 hour days each week. I've been logging on average 12 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Typical state agency, we cannot hire right now due to budget constraints, yet we are paying countless $$ in overtime.

I've been thinking of returning, but like this place, my visits are few and far between.
