Empress 28mm BMD-2 IFV - part 3

This has been sitting on the side since January 2018.

I added a Rubicon wooden crate from one of their stowage sets and a rucksack from the Crooked Dice small stowage set. The white posts are 0.7mm plastic rod and will be the fixing points for additional soft stowage.
I cut off part of the nose to add the bow mounted machine gun. The barrel is 0.7mm brass rod.
The ATGM attachment point on the turret top is made of a piece of 0.7mm rode passed through a piece of 3mm Evergreen tube.

The white posts on the bow will be the fixing points for camouflage netting.
The two large pieces of stowage are again from the Crooked Dice small stowage set. The aerial is 0.7mm brass rod with a piece of 3mm Evergreen tube for the base.
 The jerry can is from the Empress 28mm scale WW2 Jeep. The backpack on the right is from the Under Fire Miniatures Rhodesian SAS.
The two tanks are made from 4mm square section Evergreen tube with Evergreen 4mm strip end caps and details. Two pieces of 0.7mm Evergreen rod make the two handles. The box is from the TTCombat Back Alley Accessories 2.
The periscope on the rear hatch is made from a disc of thin plasticard cut with a hole punch and a length of Slaters plastic strip.



Now for the Greenstuff.
