Nathan LaPorte
Saint Clair, Michigan
In 2014, the Ukraine 11th Defense Brigade modified a Russian MT-LB to use against separatists, and Nathan wanted to model it. Starting with a Trumpeter 1/35 scale kit, he added slat armor, a machine gun and mount along with an armored gun box, and scratchbuilt side skirts and a crew compartment. He also included more details in the engine bay before masking and painting the digital camo.
