APA Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 You've done a cracking job on that Rob. Enjoyed your WIP to. It really builds into an interesting subject. Plenty of detail packed into a small package. Similar to what you get with a Universal Carrier which this is a grandson of! Quite tempted myself and I don't do modern! Not bad for a boatie 😉 Look forward to the LCA build, I noticed that today as well. Might get my feet wet myself 😁 Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to "boatie" - careful....... I came from Armour. The same could happen to you As luck would have it - a delivery arrived from L'Arsenal today........of 1/350 LCAs. I'm running out of room so the 1/35 may be a stretch too far. Either way - Gecko really are releasing interesting stuff. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whofan Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 A lovely little build, and one that I fear I won;t be emulate in the final look with the example in my stash. And you've helped enormously by using the Accurate Armour ratchet strap set - I have that for my build, too. Is the material they use for the straps cassette tape? I have't opened the pack yet, but it does look like it to me!- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartH Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Brilliant model. I love the straps and the weathering to the tyres is excellent 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Very nice Rob. Looks great! I'm still trying to figure out how those camo decals fit so nicely to the soldier's complex shape. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Something very different from you Rob and like your ship builds, looks fantastic especially with those fancy borders around the pics. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting solution and a hairdrier to speed thing along is the answer. The maker also says you can soak in alcohol. Thanks Fellas Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
