Lovely to hear that John,
... and, obviously, it's great to see you pop in

Thanks very much for that.
As said earlier, with these "open cockpit" type of AFV,the interior is all the more important...I'm hoping to improve it much more as we go.

Ok then Chaps,
I got some progress done over the holiday break,the pics are pretty rubbish because it's so dark outside,hence not really a good representation of the actual main colours..... but you get the idea



There's still a few parts to fit yet,then some Decals and quite a bit of pigments/streaking.... but it's finally beginning to look like a Priest eh?!!

Looks great Andy. Love the interior details, a big part of these open vehicles

Just arrived, sorry I'm late... yeah yeah, I'll go to the confession box, priest... confession... oh it doesn't matter!
Andy, your build is looking pretty amazing mate, I've got a couple of Academy kits, I like them, simple... sometimes and they look the part too!

Thanks very much Jim, totally agree... The more "clutter" the better!!

Cheers Lee,never "Late" buddy.... just not as early as the others!!
Academy kits are about right for me,and,as you say... can look quite nice.

So then Chaps,
Progress has been made,but it's lots of small stuff,so takes a while to actually see much development
Anyway, 'ere be pics....




All I'm really going to do now is add some external stowage, continue the streaking on the outer hull and finish off the weathering up of the running gear
...... Oh,and get the crew figures together.
I wanted a well worn look,may have overdone it a bit,but nevermind.... It's looking like a Priest I reckon
As always, thanks for looking in,and any thoughts, comments... or plain ole abuse,is welcome.
Cheers for now......

Now Andy, that is one excellent model.
Up in the Gods, I've been quietly watching the build - And have enjoyed every stage.

Looking very good. Color coded shell container tops (eg. white=willy pete) for what's inside would break up all the black.

Andy baby, I just had a good catch up. that is one seriously good looking build mate.

[Jim R]

That is looking the bee's knees Andy. You've gotta be chuffed :thumb2:

Thanks Andrew old bean.

Nice one Paul,good idea, whilst looking stuff up for this build I did see one or two pics of these containers with a yellow stripe below the cap.The majority were plain black.... I will look into it further, because, as you say,it would add a nice contrast to all that black.
