Nova Rus "Bear" 4x4 Jeep Scale Shots

I had A post on TMP requesting some pictures with a 28mm miniature next to this jeep. I don't really have a lot of Sci/Fi miniatures so I had to scrounge a bit. I found a Hasslefree mini that has not being used on the diorama, a Studio McVey limited edition Sedition Wars resin mini and a Kabuki pin up piece. Perhaps not the most useful of scale shots but its the best I can do right now. The Kabuki piece is the tallest, the Hasslefree and the Studio McVey piece are about the same size (the Hasslefree one looks taller because of the base).


From Hasslefree we have the lovely McKenzie showing off with her rugged ride.  (HFA049 McKenzie)



This resistance fighter from McVey really looks like she and this vehicle go together. I know this is a limited edition resin sedition wars mini but I don't see it on their site anymore.


And the Bug Hunter from Kabuki Miniatures

Nova Rus "Bear" 4x4 Jeep Finished

I managed to finish this last night as I took breaks from cleaning up the water damage in the basement. I'm calling it finished because, quite frankly, I'm scared to do anything else to it. The top has not been fastened on at this point. I'm still not sure how I want to display it. If I can't get the vignette done then I will display it with the top off. If I get the vignette done then I will have the top on because its important to the story. 
Here is the links to the other posts for this WIP:

On to the pictures! If you notice there are a number of gaps between the front windshield and the roof. That's because the roof is not glued on and I didn't notice when I took the pictures. This is a great kit and the fit of all the pieces is excellent.

Nova Rus "Bear" 4x4 Jeep WIP pt 2

I wanted this to be the final post on this piece but there have definitely been some delays. Like water in the basement, still trying to figure that out right now. It is close to be finished though. I need to finish attaching all the pieces and a little more aging, then I can do the final weathering. I'm very pleased with the way things have been coming along. It looks like a rugged, hard working vehicle that has certainly seen some better days. I'm particularly pleased with the fading and weathering of the military symbols on the fenders.

From the back with the fenders almost where they should be and the rear doors resting in place. The doors were originally part of the top. I cut them, when I'm finished they will be open.

Nova Rus "Bear" 4x4 Jeep WIP

Here are a few WIP shots of my current project that I hope to take down to Reaper. I'm through with the basic painting at this point and I'm ready to start the weathering. I think the wheels are closest to being finished at this point. This little beauty is from Antenocitis Workshop the Nova Rus "Bear" 4x4 Jeep, a 28mm Sci Fi vehicles from the G.O.T. line.
