BIG X Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 This is my first build for 2018 and it bit of a 'niche subject'. It's the PLASTIC SOLDIER COMPANY - 1/72 - Loyd Carrier with 6pdr gun and crew. It was a lot of fun to do and though mainly OOB I did add some exhausts to the carrier and added a bit of detail to the breach of the gun. Look closely because there are bonus points if you can spot the crew member that actually started life as an Airfix Commando Here's the carrier without the tilt - which was just an 'experiment' - let's have a look what's inside... ...if you want to see the fun and games that got me here - you can have a look at the WIP here... ...and if you 'love it' - you can 'love it' - using the buttons over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All constructive comments are most welcome and thanks for looking in - Cheers - Steve 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHendry Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The chap in the cap started out as an Airfix British Commando I believe - isn’t that the radio operator figure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Hawkins Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have just finished mine, only in a desert scheme, and I only did the hardware, no fella's. Had to make the driving levers and seat backs, though. Must remember to put the tilt on one of them. Just put some decals on them before I finally dirty them up a bit. Far easier than the IBG Bren carriers of the same scale. Still having nightmares over the individual track links..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
