Sorry for the intrusion...I might finish it one day


Keep up the good work Adrian

I've changed my seats as I watched a video clip with a marine taking the camera on a tour and the seats were a light tan colour so adjusted mine to follow suit.

That's interesting...I'll bear that in mind for any future builds

This is really coming on a treat Adrian, looking superb.

I like the look of this kit and your build so far Adrian she is a big model .

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Making the best of the time I'm at the bench now and really starting to motor


The harness's are a little rubbery for my liking but you can hardly see them once the cab is on so I can live with that.


Added a map to the interior table and a case of water


Hoping to get the side armour on by the end of the weekend and then I can start to weather.

Looking great, love the box of water peeping thru the window, its these little things that makes a model an individual build.

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Suprisingly still a lot of parts to add, most noticeably the top gun


Looking forward to getting busy with the oils to weather it.

This is a really impressive vehicle Adrian, must be huge in real life! These colour schemes always look so dull until the weathering starts then it is the best colour for washes and streaking, really brings them to life.


I would love a real one for my 1.5 mile each way commute to work and back, probably couldn't afford the fuel it would use in a week though......

3mpg so at current rate £1.03 pg would only cost £5.15 a week, trying to get a parking space to park it on the other hand .............

Park it anywhere lol. Where do you get fuel at £1.03 per gallon, cost us that per litre Which is just under £5 per gallon.

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Ok, started the figures, or the Fab four as I like to call them


I also have the EOD team to add in due time

Its the MasterBox set, really like them, should be interesting to see if I can paint them enough to look the part

Oh yea, whooops stupid me , thought it was cheap, so on the 'correct' basis it would cost a bit more - £25 per week?. Would like to say i was working it out in US dollars, but that would be a lie.

 

[geegad]

yes wanted to see this kit so will be looking forward to seeing this come along and with all the other great kits in to the mash will be a cracking dio

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Main assembly complete just some small bits to be added, started the weather with a light oil wash. I'll do another once its dry then I can do a pigment scrub.


Hopefully it will be on the table for Cosford


Eventually it will be the main focus of a dio with an EOD team and crew.
