_alfisti_ Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi guys. I managed to finish my first model for 2021. It´s ACEs FV-623 Stalwart Mk.2, built as swedish Amfibiebil 101. Sweden starts testing the Alvis Stalwart in 1962 and ultimately used 24 of them until 1985. The vehicles were initially used as supply vehicles for the coastal artillery, later as towing vehicles for the mobile artillery command system "Arte 719". The kit is quite nice but brings a lot of flash on nearly all parts and so it takes it´s time to build. I painted the Amfibiebil after a single pic from the net, most of them should have worn a uniform dark green camouflage. The little base was my first try with "water", using a 2 component epoxy resin. Regards Daniel 34 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 What a brilliant little model and diorama. Never knew Sweden used the Stalwart. Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Really cool job there. Dynamic setting and seeing the arm of the driver through the hatch is really nice and gives a lot of realism. Impressive build especially considering the scale. You've done this rather expensive little kit justice. Well done. One I'd really love to be in 1/35 and at a sensible price 😁 Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi Daniel, It is a beautiful vignette, which shows a sensation of movement, and I really like the water how it turned out, with those waves. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Excellent job. A Stalwart looks so much better in it's natural environment, rather than sitting on a road. Nice one. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
