discussion trumpeter 1/72 challenger 1

[tanktrack]

well guys this was my first foray into brail scale armour and a enjoyable experience it was the trumpeter kit was 1st class with the detail and ease of build being fantastic , i painted the tank with an undercoat of ak dark primer and then a main coat of Tamiya desert yellow sealing in between coats with Johnston's klear , a wash of Vallejo burnt umber was used and finally a dusting of Tamiya buff to give the sand look and all sealed in with Vallejo matt varnish . I don't think this will be my last build in the scale

Lovely Steve, that is a very nice looking Chally, got a nice finish on it, I was really impressed with my Chally 2,s from Dragon, great work.

Stunning little build think I'll having a go at one of these at some point

Great work Steve, that looks fantastic. Doesn't look 1/72, which is a good thing.

Very nice Steve. Is there any chance you could lighten a couple of photos as I would like to see the detail work.

That looks amazing Steve , until the shots with the Tamiya paint jar it could easily have been 1/35 I was looking at . Lovely job with the paint , it looks perfectly weathered and dusty , give yourself a pat on the back - its a winner! . cheers tony

Superb, I struggle like mad in 1/72 but do enjoy enjoy the odd walk on the braille side. Brilliant stuff, looks superb and great weathering, top job Steve.

Nice, working at this scale myself at the minute so I commend your work as I know what you went through mate.


Just holding the parts so you can clean them up is, well a nightmare.


Well done.
