[Gallery] FSC Żuk - Balaton Model 1/72

My project finally hit the end. I finished my vigniette with FSC Żuk in 1/72 scale. Balaton Model set was upgraded using FPW Model photo-etched parts and wheels printed in 3D technology.

The building is my scratch work made using HIPS sheets. Figure is resin product from Alex Miniatures.

-> photoetched windscreen wipers from Hauler
-> resin wheels from FPW Model
-> headlights from Elf Production
Now it's time for next steps in weathering.

Vignette in progress. 

Weathering phase part:1: I used different products eg Heavy Chipping to create worn surface effects. Tamiya pains were airbrushed into several layers.

Crackle Medium from Vallejo caused worn effects on back door:

I've just received the new PE sets for Żuk kit. The polish producer, FPW Model prepared great aftermarket set. The parts involved new front grill, mudguards, registration plates and FSC emblem. I'm planning upgrade my model with these PE details. It should give more realistic effect at the end.

This time I took on my workshop something a little different. It's new kit from resin producer Balaton Model, which shows polish civilian truck FSC Żuk. The set is equiped in few high quality resin parts and PE elements. The whole in-box review you can find on my friend's website KFS-miniatures. 

I'm going to build some vigniete with daily life surroundings from the past. 

The Żuk is ready for painting stage, although few parts left to assembled.
