    Not sure how I missed this @flyjoe180, but that's a beauty, a brilliant rendition of one of the UK's most famous Chinook's, well done mate.

    Langy's Stolly..... Airfix 1/35 Alvis Stalwart

    In the spirit of getting this past the finish line for the group build, I've added a bit of groundwork to the dio it's going on.. All of this will be based in black when it's dry and then the various ground elements will be 'bought back' with earthy colours and tones... (pretty much the same...

    Langy's Stolly..... Airfix 1/35 Alvis Stalwart

    Got around to painting the figures for this build, not sure which one (s) will actually end up in the dio, but figured it wouldn't hurt to have various choices.. DPM pattern came out a bit darker then I hoped it would, looks more like the 95 pattern I was issued with and not the 70 pattern...

    Langy's Stolly..... Airfix 1/35 Alvis Stalwart

    Thanks buddy, I'll remember that tip. I might even give them a bash... the weathering on the tyres can be replicated afterwards. (y)

    Langy's Stolly..... Airfix 1/35 Alvis Stalwart

    Made a start on a bit of weathering, I'm a bit annoyed that the tyres despite a heavy sanding session to hide the seams has 'ghost seams', I might have another crack at them or just go with it and lay down some more crud to hide it. Most parts have now been fitted....(all the small easily...

    Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV

    Possible dried pigment fixer, I've had the same on my Stalwart build, (I'm using vallejo's pigment fixer if that helps). to cure it I've sprinkled a bit more pigment dust over the area's and hidden it.

    Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV

    Got chased up salisbury plain by one of these during an exercise a fair few years ago, the P.C. and me were doing a quick sneaky recce on a 'target' and all of a sudden one of these appeared from nowhere and made a direct run for us, it almost caught us as we floored the landrover we were...

    Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV

    If memory serves I seem to think that fitting the tracks on Mrs L's scorpion did exactly what you've written, so they were left for a good couple of days after fixing with tamiys 'normal' glue to give a good solid bond.

    Scorpion CVR(T) FV101 - 1:35st scale - AFV

    seeing you build this now makes me want to build the scimitar, I wonder if any body has done the more 'modern' sabre version of this ?
