FV432 Mk 2/1

[Courageous]

All done.

Here is my latest, an FV432 by S&M Models in 1/72. Built mainly OOB with S&M PE and some added details. The troop compartment was scratch built and various cables, tools, mirrors, aerials were added. Painted with AK and Tamiya paints, kit decals and a little weathering. The 432 was mounted on a base that simulates some training ground, some figures were added and a first for me, is the making of trees.

Nice useful website for images.

I'd like to thank Dan @Dads203 for helping with the details during this build.

Hope you like.

Looks great Stuart. Lots of detail in there, very nice.

 

Were the tracks as supplied? They look very good for that scale.

Cheers Terry. The tracks are from the kit, they're not vinyl, they're injection plastic lengths of track. A few gaps in the track but they were covered up with mud and stuff.

Thanks Andreas. It's a first with the trees and I'm pleased with them. The camo uniforms were a lucky turnout; started with the lighter colour, moving towards the dark and then given a wash with Nuln Oil wash.

Great build love the use of the foliage and use of the trees but most of all the display of the FV432.

@Courageous apologies for the threadomancy but what figures did you use?

No problems with the 'threadomancy'. I tend to get my figures from Milicast, Wee Friends via Friendship Models and from Elhiem. These figs IIRC are from Elhiem: https://www.elhiem.co.uk/shop/search.php?q=BAOR&searchbutton=Search

Many thanks Stuart. 

 

They have a great range. I'll be getting some I think.

 

Cheers again
