Looking good Ian. I do believe there was a touch of ironi in you comment about the "relaxing few hour". Made me chuckle a bit that did.

 

[Steve Jones]

Another AFV which is on my bucket list. You are doing a magical job of constructing and adding detail to this build. A real credit to your modelling skills Ian. Top work

 

[papa 695]

Got some primer on now.

Does anyone know of any decent figures that will work with this?

 

[stillp]

That is looking good Ian!

Great little Scimitar Ian.
For 1st Gulf or Bosnia have a look at Accurate Armour or The Firing Line figures.

Just caught up with this Ian, Looking the bomb. The right figures should set it off nicely. Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks Jon I'll take a look

If your adding figures Ian will you be doing a dio or will they be on the Scimitar??

I will be doing a little base/diorama for it but I want the figures to be inside it. I've seen some figures from verlinden I'm hoping to get.

Ok got the green paint on, also painted the wheels, idlers, sprockets and mud flaps ( but only 2 will be used )

I’ve also got some figures for this. They come pre-painted but not the best painting job. Even with my limited skills I think I could do a better job. So I’m going to repaint them.

Steve,
The paint has made all that added detail pop.

Thanks Paul, but It's Ian.

Looking good now Ian , as for the figures ‘Eye’ cant see whats wrong with them?:smiling5::smiling5: . They certainly dont look like the box top photo.

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see the green base coat on. How are things getting on with the tracks??

Not started them yet, but it won’t be long.

Apologies mate, it was a senior moment.

Hi Ian - I had that set, they don't come pre-painted! They are well dodgy

 

[Mickc1440]

Lovely work Ian, those things certainly had some storage on them didn't they

 

[papa 695]

Got the rest of the camouflage painted
