PlaStix Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) This was my project for the Vietnam II GB over in the Group Build section. Kit: 1/35 AFV Club Extras: AFV Club track links - kindly supplied by snapper_city Pegasus Camouflage netting Academy Allied and German Tank Supplies Set II AFV Club 20Pdr. Gun Ammo Paints: Humbrol and Revell Acrylics - Humbrol Spray can for the base colour - all other paints applied by hairy sticks. This was my first proper 1/35 AFV build - I practiced first on the old Tamiya Panzer Kampfwagen II Ausf.F/G kit in the Achtung Panzer GB earlier in the year.The WIP for this build can be found here. There are quite a few photos. In Country; Some close-ups: So thats my last completion for 2015. Roll on 2016s builds! I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this and all my other builds during the year - as Ive said before; none of them would be what they are without the advice, suggestions and support of fellow Britmodellers. Thank you. Happy New Year! Kind regards, Stix Edited January 27, 2016 by PlaStix 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Now that is extremely well done and presented. The only detail I can spot missing, is some tufts of grass in the tracks as well as in the upturned soil. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Looks fantastic Stix, you seem to have a background for every occasion. My question is where did you get the grass from? Is it a mat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Stunning build realistic and well presented. Especially the subtle weathering, some stain, some dirt/rust and some mud looks really convincing to me. The lovely details all over are a nice touch as well. Well done and all the best for 2016 Bernd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
