Frank Donati
St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada
As part of the Moosaroo Cup competition between modeling podcasts, Frank turned an ICM 1/72 scale Ural-4320 into a heavy-duty technical armed with a 3.7cm PaK 36 and a Quad .50-caliber machine-gun mount turret sourced from Matchbox kits. Other modifications include scratchbuilt sandbags and street signs made from soda-can aluminum and paper used as extra armor. He painted it with Tamiya acrylics and picked out details with AK Interactive 3G and Citadel acrylics and weathered it with Ammo and Bragdon pigments and artist oils to tie it into the base made from cork and clay with kitty litter and wood debris.
