noeyedears Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Accurate armour MK5 resin conversion Tamiya Chieftain base model (lower hull and wheels etc only) 1/35 Masterclub metal tracks with worn blocks. Tamiya paints Mr Hobby metallics AK enamel washes Oil washes AK (and Flory) pigments I do like Accurate Armour stuff. They can be a bit rough and tough, but they do look nice when done. I got fed up with this half way through, but came back to it about a year later and thoroughly enjoyed finishing it. Thats why in the album on flickr, along with these pics (and more) in full res, there are build pics that stop half way through. they may interest some, but i couldn't be bothered to start a build thread again after a year break. The model will eventually end up on the bed of a Tasker semi trailer as shown, so the front two axles are in compression. There is no build thread , but there are a few build pics in the album on flickr. click a pic for larger versions and access to the flickr album 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Lovely job. Just the right amount of dirt to make it look real. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Excellent model, a very realistic representation of the real thing and probably some of the best weathering I've seen - just enough restrained grime, wear and tear to make it look like a working wagon.

FrancisGL Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I do not know this vehicle in depth, but your rendition of the model is superb, it seems as real as the real model is. I love the combination of tones, it's as "sinister" as the "Chieftains" should look. Cheers mate 👍 Edited January 13, 2019 by FrancisGL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Amazing. Like everyone said this is one of the best ever on this site. The detail, paint, and especially the weathering are just awesome and the posing and photography are first rate. Looks like you just drove it away from some depot, do you suppose they will miss it? Take care, Lloyd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Actually it's an utterly brilliant rendition of a less than than charismatic but vital working vehicle. Superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Superb. Reminds me of my youth down at the Slab Common near Bordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noeyedears Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for the kind comments, especially from mr meatbox, are you an ex-tanker? Pete driver is from the tamiya chieftain kit itself which the conversion is based on. i have spares if you want any, all 3 figures included in the kit are available if you pm me your requirements and an address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
