Nick C Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Got back to these after a work enforced break, final assembly and weathering, still some more to do but getting there; The Chieftain turret needs a bit more dust and then onto the base.

Swiftnbold Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The weathering on that 432 is superb, straight out of a German turnip field prior to washdown! 😃 Top job Nick, very, very impressed by the accuracy and finish of your work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Thanks for all the kind comments, much appreciated 😃 Last bits done on the vehicles and crew. The loader's hand looked like he was trying to eat a sandwich which he'd dropped somewhere; Surgery carried out, better I think; Some fuel stains around the filler caps added; Soot on the 432 exhaust (the black mark on the exhaust has been fixed but no pic); A bit more dust on the Chieftain turret (and crew) and side skirts; The vehicles are going to be sitting on a dusty track, with grass verges, somewhere in Germany, made a start on the base; Thanks for looking Cheers Nick 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Thanks for the comments and likes👍 Progress on the base. decided to try AK dry earth for the ground with some sand and grit sprinkled on for texture; Ok texture but too desertry Sprayed with US sand and some grey patches for variation; And a brown oil wash to give more depth; Test fit; Bit of greenery next weekend it'll be done.

Added the grass, mix of 4mm and 10mm winter grass with some AK 6mm autumn tufts dotted around. First go at static grass, reasonably happy but it's a bit too bland. Going to mix in some autumn grass for a 'greener' look. Cheers Nick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Finally finished the base, some different length autumn and meadow grass to add some variety; Name plate from 'Name It'; Vehicles installed; That's all for this one. I'll post some pics, take in natural light, over on the RFI page. Thanks to everyone who followed & commented through the build and especially @Dads203, @Hamden, @Swiftnbold & @metadyne for your help with the details, much appreciated.
