BadCop Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks Dave, Daz and Smudgey. Dave - Once this one is done I'm going to build something completely OOB for a break from PE and fiddly details. I'm almost 100% set on a Tamiya Chally 2 kit that's in the stash. I'm a little undecided with the weathering, as I am quite happy with the paint fading and don't want to obscure it with pigments. Instead, I'll take it one small step at a time and call it quits once I'm happy. First step is a spray of thinned Tamiya Deck Tan around the lower part of the hull, and a little over the upper hull and turret for a lightly dusted look. I've also given the exhausts some rust pigments. They'll need a little cleaning up, but for today I'll call that enough. Hmm.... actually I don't mind that look for a peace time vehicle, and may leave it at that. After I put the radio antennas on tomorrow I'll try to make up my mind.

smuts Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Trent she looks superb the weathering is spot on....job well done mate. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadCop Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Thanks Andy, Ian, Mish and Dave Okay, I decided to finalise the weathering with a light dusting of Tamiya Weathering Set Gun Metal and Light Rust. Antennaes made from stretched sprue are attached, and I'm calling this one done for now unless I can find something I've missed. Here's a few quick and dirty pictures, I'll try to get some better one ready soon. Edited June 21, 2008 by BadCop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwentsider Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thats a really great build mate. Have been watching your WIP as I have the Australian one in the stash. If that turns out as half as good as yours I`ll be well happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Tango Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 That is one brilliant build Trent, congratulations on a job well done, unfortunately seeing all your PE, I don't think I could tackle all that, but Kudos to you mate for a superb step by step guide. P.S. If anybody else is up for a Modern Armour GB you can count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadCop Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks everyone for the compliments. It was an enjoyable build, and I hope you all picked up a few tips watching me screw things up on the way to getting the final product. As of right now, I haven't had a chance to take better photographs, but I will have a few days off soon and will get them done then. At the moment I'm trying to work on a few partially built kits before starting the Chally 2. I must finish at least one of 6 half finished kits in my parade of shame!!! By the way, I'd love to see a Modern Armour GB here sometime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 By the way, I'd love to see a Modern Armour GB here sometime soon! I'll second that. My ASLAV 25 and ASLAV APC kits turned up a couple of days ago and I'm itching to get going on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 That's a mighty fine Centurion: a triumph, in fact. Myself, I would worry about those extra-fine aerials. But then, I'm clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
