discussion IDF upgraded M247 DIVADS

[Guest]

I finally managed to persuade myself to paint the commander’s figure for my Israeli M247 DIVADS, which means that it is at last done:

Superb stuff Jakko, that's a cracking build.

 

[Jim R]

That's an excellent model Jakko. Considering that in your first build post you were cannablising kits you have definitely managed to fit everything together well. Nice job :thumb2:

Wow i like it.Different and nice change from Merkavas etc.Love the add on details such as smoke grenade launchers.
Great stuff Jakko.

And about time too... It's a pleasure to see this build in its completion and is a credit to your building ability, well done Jakko.

So realistic I can almost taste the dust in the back of my throat.

 

[vizenz]

This thing looks amazing, my friend. Well done.

 

[PaulTRose]

Top class whiffery

Well done sir

Thank you all I’m pretty happy with the way it came out, though I decided to skip the weathering because I just wanted this one finished so I can start on the Sherman BARV for the D-Day group build. A clean vehicle will do for a change

Jakko, that has turned out really nicely. Very nicely done.

 

[adt70hk]

Very well done!

 

[Andy T]

I like that a lot!

 

[David Lovell]

Top stuff Jakko well done know what you mean about just wanting it done begining to feel like it with my shilka. Dave

 

[Guest]

Thanks, guys I wouldn’t let myself start on the D-Day group build before finishing this one and the Tyrell P.34, which is usually a decent enough motivator to actually complete models

That looks great Jakko, very nice indeed.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great model....weathering is subtle and spot on. Well done Jakko.

 

[Guest]

Thanks

weathering is subtle and spot on.

The weathering is so subtle that it’s not there That is, I didn’t weather the model at all — largely because I just wanted it done so I could start on the BARV, so I decided it will represent a vehicle that has been recently cleaned.

Thanks :smiling3:

It certainly looks like an element of pre shading on the photographs and rusting on the tracks or I am loosing my mind.

I don’t do preshading, but I do do highlighting by spraying a lighter colour into the centres of panels etc. The end result, of course, is much the same for both techniques Still, I don’t consider that weathering but making the model come to life more, by preventing it looking “flat” and toy-like.
