I’d totally forgotten about this. Cool to see you back underweigh.
BTW: Something seems to be going on with PhotoBucket here, I can’t see the majority of your photos. Maybe it’s just me?
Excellent work Stick.
G, I’ve been trying to get on P-bucket most of the day, no luck, and all the pics I’ve put up lately are showing up as “broken link” icons, must be P-bucket.
Photobucket site says “down for maintenance”…[:@]
Lord they are aggravating… probably putting in more new age hippy tree hugger kum ba ya stuff… [bnghead]
Nice work on the scratch building.
Thanks Tojo. Now If I can get some photos uploaded to PB I can show them off… [whstl]
that looks good, I was thinking about getting that same here recently, those AMT kits really bring back memories…
Hi my friend.
Its coming along real good… will you set it up in a dio?..I lost track of the thread, being out for so long. Just catching up.
Hola garzon. No diorama for this build. Although I would like to do a vignette base for it at some point.
I took several photos of my work a couple weeks back, but since PB was down that day I could not get them uploaded. Life intervened in the mean time so here is the scratch work I did for the drivers compartment, as well as the jerry can racks for the rear hull fenders
racks
drivers compartment
roof interior
lower hull
TC hatch
and what you’ll be able to see once it’s closed up
Ill try to get it painted up and glued close in the next few days
Good to see this one return to the top of the forum. Nice scratch building in there as well.
This is going to look so cool with paint on it! 
Thanks Mike. I am looking forward to getting this one finished!
Hey SP, looks good and good to see you back to work on this.
Maybe a stupid question but the guy in the second seat, is that for the commander? Other than the sights there I don’t see anything for him to man and if he’s there as the assistant driver looks like to me if the driver gets shot he’d have to lift him and throw him out the hatch to get to the driving controls.
Yes, he is actually the vehicle commander. Hence the fancy NV sights and such. The BMP-1 had a single man turret, with a gunner who operated the main gun, co ax MG and Sagger missile. The 8 main infantry squad dismounts and the three man crew stays in the track for dismounted ops.
Thanks SP, guess I’m just used to thinking of the CO being in the turret.
He might be on the BMP-2. It has a two man turret, but also still retains the commanders station behind the driver… crazy Russkies…[*-)]
