Courageous Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 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. Build log here: I'd like to thank Dan @Dads203 for helping with the details during this build. Hope you like. Stuart 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few gaps in the track but they were covered up with mud and stuff. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trees and the camo pattern of the uniforms are are really stunning, 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. 6 hours ago, Bullbasket said: Excellent build Stuart, and really well displayed.

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 Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
