phildagreek Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Here it is all done, there is a WIP if you haven't seen it already. This was a Christmas present from the girls along with the update kit. This was supposed to be a summer project following my holiday of a lifetime after retirement, but hey ho. I started building on the 1st Feb and finally called it finished last week. LAV 1 by phil da greek, on Flickr LAV 14 by phil da greek, on Flickr LAV 37 by phil da greek, on Flickr So here we go, this doesn't represent one particular vehicle but rather is an amalgamation of several hundreds of LAV photos I've discovered on the internet, but the pose of the figure does come from one particuar photo of the Canadians in Afghanistan. I'm pretty happy with it overall, but the figure disappoints me as I found the CADPAT particularly challenging, the sharp digital pattern has turned into a series of dots and blobs.

ivan-o Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) That sir has turned out rather nicely 👌 The stowage really sets it off and gives a good used vehicle image.(the aslav wheels have worked too) Ivan Edited May 27, 2020 by ivan-o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I don't know much about these but it looks good. It's your summer project and it's done for summer. Canadians sure come with a lot of baggage don't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Lovely job all round Phil. The kit stowage looks really good, and I'm glad to see that you tied it down. Nice one. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would too if you were living out of your vehicle for weeks on end! There's just no stowage sufficient inside the vehicle for 8 section members and their rucksacks, plus all the other kit like ammunition, rations, water, fuel, etc. Plus, you need to be able to dismount quickly when you come into contact and don't want to be climbing over your kit. I saw plenty of similarly equipped British Vikings and WMIKs in AFG, so... And as any fellow infanteer will attest: "any idiot can be uncomfortable..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
