FrancisGL Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I'm sorry I missed the construction, I hope to have more time to enter the forum, and to do something myself too ... Although it is not a tank (my comfort zone, always trying to improve it), it looks like a very cool vehicle, and the level of detail looks very high. Your work so far is very good, although it seems that once assembled the body will not look too much inside. Really it must be a very small vehicle ... Cheers Nick 👍 Edited November 15, 2019 by FrancisGL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlight Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 @FrancisGL Hi Francis, thank you very much for your nice words. You are correct, this is a quite small vehicle. I think it must be great fun to drive it. I will leave the driver's door and one of the roof hatches open so you might see at least a little bit of the interior. @Hamden Hi Roger, thank you very much for your patience! Have a nice day Nick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hi everybody, mojo restored and back at my workbench. This is where I left the project in September... With only the basic colour on it rested somewhere hidden on the shelf of shame. This is what I achieved during this weekend: The camouflage is finished now. The masking of the brown areas was a pain, I knocked off one antenna, and some small parts and lost one of the front towing eyes. To avoid this problem I decided to brush paint the black areas, which turned out quite okay. Next steps will be painting of the small parts, gloss coat, and decals. Thanks for looking! Suggestions and critiques are always welcome. Have a nice day Nick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Despite your problems, it's turned out fine. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 @Bullbasket Thank you very much indeed! The whole thing also fell down to the floor, but only the jerrycan holder in the back came off. It was completely distorted, I had to open it up, bend it straight and then to fold it again.

flashlight Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Hi everybody, I have an update on my project. During the last days I painted the small parts, sprayed a gloss coat on the VBL, applied the decals, sprayed a matte coat and applied the small parts. The machine gun and jerry cans are dry fit. Next will be wheels, lights, washing, weathering. All doors and hatches are still dry fit, after all is done I will decide, which I want to display opened. The decals are a bit of a weakpoint. The "4" sign on the front is out of register and the lower part of it isn't opaque. The signs on the side doors are out of register too and I belive that they have the wrong colour, they are way too light, you should see a white sword in the center of it... Thanks for looking! Critiques and suggestions are always welcome. Have a nice day Nick Edited February 6, 2020 by flashlight Typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I like the look of this a lot Nick. We see these come through our village now and again when they are on exercise. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hi John, this must be a great sight. I also like the look of this vehicle, it reminds me on some sort of rallye car. Have a nice day Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hi Nick. Yes, and they are usually in the company of AMX-10's. Now that is a sight to see. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Not much to show this time, only little progress. Wheels, lights and machine gun are done. The gun is only dry fit, I'd knock it off a hundred times during the washing and weathering process. Thanks for looking! Critiques and suggestions are always welcome.

flashlight Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi everybody, had a bit of progress. Panellines- and pinwash is done now. Next stage is weathering. I'll try to keep it subtle, not too much. Thanks for looking! Have a nice day Nick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi all, my project is nearly finished now. Weathering is done, wheels are mounted, the last detail parts are applied and antennae are done. Only some minor detail paints and touch ups left, then the Panhard will be done. You'll find it in the RFI section soon. Thanks for looking! Critiques and suggestions are always welcome. Have a nice day Nick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
