Hi all,

My first ever armored vehicle build, fun to build, excellent detail, nice fitting, overall an awesome model. I painted the whole thing using the cheap AB, and it works just fine :)

Sorry for the photo quality, i use my phone...

As usual, any comments or critics are welcomed. View attachment 80414

Thanks all for the kind words, i used powdered 4B pencil for the weathering :) And surprisingly it works just fine.
 
What a great little build. Can I ask though why you have not painted the framing on the armoured glass on the turret. It's only a little thing but it does distract the eye on an otherwise great build.

Good job on the paint and weathering as well.

That's really nice! Good paint & weathering. I'd like to have a crack at one of these myself!

Cheers

Lovely build, quality finish and weathering. I am with Ian regarding the armoured glass, just needs finishing as it looks odd. Otherwise, sublime model.

I'm sure that with a steady hand and a good brush you could brush paint them on. It Looks like you can even cut a bit of masking tape to mask the window part. Is there a frame moulded in, or is it just flat...

There is a frame moulded in. I should be able to mask them next time.
 
Well, the work on the glass looks immense and finishes off an already superb model. Outstanding work Leo, one of my faves.

great build Leo, and I must say that the tip Si,Ian gave real improved the look, ;)

really nice! Good paint & weathering. the guy with the banana is a real dude , nice work on the figures as well,o_O

Now that's good I like it! Those figures look rather pleased with themselves ! Are you sure there is just water in the canisters :D

Very nicely painted figures though I must say
