The vertical launch bay looks great - I love the hatch details!

Seconded.  Great build detail and glad you decided to stick with the MAZ.  :smiley:

Been clearing out the shelf-o-doom over the last few days.. well some of them  :-[

But a bit of work on the Drone Base Vehicle

The visibile Drones


In the paint shop starting the Ukraine Digi Cam or a facsimile thereof.


The aim is to get it done in the next few days... Well that's the aim ???

Have to get this off the bench.. I have seen something else shinier  ;D

Masking, masking.. .masking. Doing a digital cammo job, or representations there of.. it is not real flash and bit haphazard.

So after all that, the final top coat then....
Before. masking still in place

After. masking all removed (I hope)



Go back for some touch ups then get it all together for the final bit.

As far as I am going to take it I think. Bit itchy for a new project.

Sort of on the periphery for TankBusters, however as pointed out.... Drones are flavour of the conflict for Ukraine

Ukraine Drone Mobile Integrated Launch System - DMILS (maybe  ???)








Thanks for the support during this. I have to confess that near the end I was losing interest a bit as it was so big.
Who knows the MAZ chassis may get another run at some stage. For a 3rd iteration of existence.  ;D

That is a massive beast! It came out great, though - I love the ready to launch drones. I know what you mean about unwieldy projects!

Man, that came out wonderful. But why do I suddenly want to paint it an overall medium blue and print the word "SHADO" on both sides? ??? :P ;)
Think I'd go with Mobile Integrated Drone Launch System. (MIDLS)

I never realised just how effective the rather basic Ukrainian digi scheme is a breaking up the outline of a vehicle until I saw this build - Well done on the scheme, BT!  8)

Drones are the flavour of the conflict but they do destroy everything, including tanks, so fit in perfectly here!  ;)

Oh, very nice.  I take it the space on the right side of the hull is for the optional NAAFI tea dispensing module?  ;)

As always, beautiful work and a great finish.  :smiley:

Oh great. Now I've got a quadcopter-based frontline tea-and-bicky delivery service stuck in my head!

Yes the totally unnecessary build to demonstrate the modular features  ;)
The exact point.. could be any module in that slot.. NAAFI module included  :smiley:
