some mini AFVs are escaped from its box ...


Recommended Posts

still remain 3 crews 😂

the molding, details, QC of Yufan model is good, but the locations they chose to separate the head, arm, leg are really bad and difficult to grout/polish. 😵

but it almost triple size from my 1/72 AFV😑

but there has >25 nos. of 1/72 AFV in my schedule, and i haven't count the miniatures, sci-fi, figure/bust, vehicle, etc japanese model kits that are ready to paint too. so it won't be finished before 2024? 😵

Im not much of a historical fig painter but there are plenty of paint sets out there especially for ww2 German. You might find this conversion tool useful for converting between brands.

Also skin is often called flesh which might help. Citadel, Army Painter and Vallejo all do decent skin colours. 

 

This guy is pretty good as a miniature painter, although this is kinda war game quality rather than display quality but should give some ideas.

as mentioned before, because i not a hardcore fan of AFV, would not study an old photo, collect info / history to recreate an AFV in specific battle/camo/condition, and not interested to paint same AFV twice. So i use some remained spare parts to convert the 2nd kit into sci-fi / what-if AFV🤣

I thought I noticed some potentially 40K barrels on that T-35, not a bad idea, if you are going that way it could get a cool scifi camo scheme.

 

If anyone every did 40k Models in 1/72 I'd probably buy some, I quite fancy having some 1/72 40k tanks.

those barrels came from typ 1/72 AFV, not 40K. But i think 40K 's parts may match too.

I thought that too especially on the T 35, I think everyone should do what if vehicles especially if you have a spare with the Smodel kits, let your creative juices flow, it’s fun and 😌

I guess I am looking for 3D prints of 40k stuff scaled to 1/72. The scale of 40k stuff is I think around 1/50 although how you would ever get 12 marines in a rhino is beyond me.
