adsalamon Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Ok still kind of new to modelling having only made 2 planes! I started this a few years ago then took a big break from new hobby. Recently got back into it and finished this! First attempt at weathering. Maybe a bit too far. Have a diorama base I bought for it so will work on that now as well as my eurofighter Hope you like it!!

sinhow Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Looks Ok for the first time, I can see you did add quite some details on the simplify Tamiya kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsalamon Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 yup. Spent so long learning lots of new things as I went along. Never want it easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 For a first go at an AFV that's great. Certainly better than my first! You're already a step or so ahead of the game with the weathering and improving the basic kit. The figures are also way better than my first attempts. Keep it up, keep learning and practicing and you'll soon be up there with the best. One very simple and obvious thing that you could do to vastly improve the realism of any AFV is to add tie down ropes for the stowage. A few lengths of thread will do. As is often said, 'that stowage would fall off at the first sign of a bump' or 'is that stuck on there by magnetism?' And also make sure that the stowage doesn't interfere with the travel of the gun/turret. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsalamon Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Thanks Yeah i think I will add a few ropes here and there I did try a few. One of the logs at the front I added some spare or buckles. I bought some thread so will go about trying it. It Have tested the travel of the gun and seems to be free to.move.. will have another play with it Edited July 13, 2017 by adsalamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 As the first AFV you done a good job. Hope you like it and it is not your last model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
