    FV432 Bulldog

    Here I present you my attempt at the British Bulldog.
    It's taking long enough to get to the end, mojo, moving... I won't bore you!
    Nice kit, although I always struggle with link and length as well as link tracks! Sausage fingers!
    I think I might need to renew my clear green, it's not flowing like it should.

    The committee here at Race Towers were impressed enough to award you a ,

      Very nice indeed Lee, well done mate.
      Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

          Lovely job. That really looks the part. Always surprised by how complex modern vehicles are. It must make them very fragile during building and painting.

                Thank you everyone.
                The bar armour is a cheat, its moulded as one piece but in separate modules, an easy cheat! I definitely wouldn't try an after market bodge together bit by bit armour! Nope, no chance, not a hope in hell!

                  Hi Lee
                  That looks great. A very busy looking vehicle

                    Thanks Jim.
                    Yes it looks busy but the left overs are more busy so many bits that are for the standard FV432... I got lost building the kit but that's not unusual for me! Lol

                      Lee,
                      That's a cracking result mate. It's a lot different to the 432's of my day.

                        When I first saw the Bulldog, I thought someone was having a laugh but as a veteran like so many of us on here, I thought, hang on! It's not broken so why fix it! Throw a few mechanical steroids into the mix and hey presto! An uparmoured 432...

                          A brilliant build of a strange looking beast. I like it.
