Diorama USSR 1986 – part 5
In this series of articles, I will write about making a USSR diorama in 1986. I will show how I made the "terrain" and the model myself, how I painted them and what effects I used. In addition, vegetation and resin will be discussed.
After making the base, it was time for the model itself, so I started assembling the UAZ. As always when working with plastic and plastic glue, there is also a lighter to unplug the tube. I decided to paint the interior of the vehicle as well, although the vehicle will be very dusty and at this stage I was not sure how much the interior will be visible. However, I will know that it is a mess if I don't paint… This also affected the order of assembling the model itself.
After finishing the basic stacking (and inserting the windows), in order not to stain / get dirty, I masked them with crepe tape.
After masking, I glued the basic parts (floor with details on both the left and right sides). The front side, as well as the back, I have not yet glued for easier painting.
Then I painted the interior with a brush (messily). First metallic paint, then a few coats of black and reddish-brown wash. When the paint dried, I coated the interior with Heavy Chipping and Scratches effects and let it dry for about 10 minutes.
When the effects dried, I sprayed the interior. First in white and then in some turquoise / light blue shade). I let it dry for about 10 minutes with damp ear sticks, activated the effects and removed the color in the desired places.
In the end, when everything was dry, I painted the details - like seats, wooden benches and added dashboard stickers. Again, since the model will be dirty on the outside, I decided to overemphasize some colors to make it easier to express myself through dirty glass.
