Wogga Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 After 30 years of thinking then over 4 years learning CAD and 3d printing I finally have produced a personal memory capsule , along with a few 1/35 prototypes on the way, a 1/24 Triffid detachment complete with full interior of this BAOR Royal Signals detachment usually deployed as part of Divisional and Brigade Armoured headquarters. Only light weathering as these 'panzers' were well maintained and had a critical inspection schedule because of the radio installation. I doubt if one of these was ever ploughed up and down the pylon line on the Soltau-Luneberg Training Area. The donor kit is the excellent Kit Form Services FV432. Enjoy the images. 62 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Really? Are you sure that interior is correct? Herforder? No self respecting Scaley (Scaly?) would have had Herfie if they could get hold of Grolsch! Maybe they'd been out in the area for a couple of weeks and were getting desperate. Bloomin' marvellous model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan, it is Hannants Xtraacrylics XA1816 British Khaki Drab straight out of the bottle thinned with their thinner for the airbrush. It’s works for me. Hakata IRR Green is also good but needs lightening a tad imo. I used Hakata IRR Black on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow handbags were just the right size for stowage bins, Grolsch came in bloody great crates which was OK if you were on the ARV. And besides, Wolfgang sold Herfies so it was easy to replen. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Wow, that's impressive. What a lot of detail you have included! Do you plan to do anything with the tracks? They look rather unfinished compared with the rest of the vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are rather deflated and need pumping up, but I agree they need a bit more grime and the pads need touching up despite being grimed up already it sort of dried up to nothing.

Julien Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Very nice, not often you see a 439. My only niggle is the tracks, especially the right one seem too loose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nice! Once upon a time, many moons ago, I spent a summer while at Uni working as a gofer and behind the bar in the NAAFI at Bournemouth Barracks in Soltau. I remember once walking to work to see most of my clientele leaving barracks in their vehicles on one of those sudden exercises. Lots of noise! But a very quiet evening in the bar… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does need a bit of air, i need to decide on more weathering on the tracks then i will tighten them to the correct once i find my King Dick kit and grease gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris951 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I just want to say (belatedly) that this looks amazing! Takes me right back to Bulford 1999! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
