discussion Langy's Airfix Alvis Stalwart completed GB pics.... Picture Heavy...sorry!!!

[langy71]

Well guys, I finally got this across the finish line, (in between re-decorating half the house).

Firstly I'd like to thank @Geoffers for hosting this group build.

This is the recently released 1/35 Airfix kit with the ITA external extras set, brush guards, exhaust cover.. etc.
The dio base is the first time I've tried to create muddy water using resin, worked out quite well..(just a couple of things I need to work on when and if I decide to use resin again.)
All in all a good base model, sadly let down by some very soft / poorly moulded details, but a good attempt by Airfix to provide us with different military vehicles outside of the 'normal' AFV offerings.

Apologies for the load of pics, my thoughts are 'the more images you post, the easier it will be for somebody else to check details on their build'

Your thoughts as always are more than welcome, if I've missed something then please shout it out..

Fantastic result that mate, looks really good. Especially like the base too! How did you get the wet mud effect?

Thanks mate, I'm pleased you like it,
The wet mud is just resin mixed with Mig / Ammo european earth pigments, it was easier to do than I thought it would be.

Fantastic work on the Stalwart and base.

That's brilliant. Model, figures and base have all turned out really well.
