Mikkel Petrich
Gaithersburg, Maryland
Mikkel started “Moment of Contemplation” with a Meng 1/35 scale Russian ZSU-23-4 Shilka, added a resin interior and VoyagerModel photo-etched metal parts, MasterClub tracks, and designed and 3D-printed interior details. A Paracel Miniatures figure sits atop the Shilka’s turret. Mikkel used the hairspray technique to chip the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun’s paint and further distressed the exterior with artist oils and pigments.
