Nick C Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 1/35 Takom Chieftain Mk 11 and FV432, with PE from Voyager Model and Tetra Model works respectively. Figures, 432 GPMG, stowage bits and bobs from Accurate Armour, heads from Hornet Model, tracks from Master Club, and scratch built storage cages in the back of the 432. Name plate from 'Name It'. Painted in Tamiya acrylics for the vehicles and Vallejo acrylics for the figures. Build log here; Thanks to all who followed the build which was great fun, and especially to @Dads203, @Hamden, @Swiftnbold & @metadyne for your help with the details, much appreciated. Thanks for looking. Cheers Nick 61 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Excellent - an everyday scene that would be at home in the Sennelager Training Area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Excellent! Great pair, nice grubby, dusty, well used finish along with a base and figures, what's not to like? Super modelling, almost tempting me to build a Chieftain.... Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildagreek Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Very nice, I particularly like the DPM on the 432 crew, looks very realistic. Good effort! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Nick - that is absolutely first rate - the figures and base really set the vehicles off Nice One Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi Nick, Excellent pair of vehicles, I love the subtle wear and detail on the APC, along with the very accurate figures, which on their simple but effective base look great. I would love to add a figure at least in my "Chaffie", because at least I managed to make a base...😅 Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 You've done an excellent job on both models, and together, they look even better. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Bad_Bill Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Excellent work, apart from the glaring omission - where's the crates of beer? Herforder handbags usually lined the floor of the 432, unless this near endex and they had run out. Spookily I left Sennelager this very morning to head back to UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
