Muchmirth Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Looks just amazing, brilliantly done. The weathering is really cool. Like the base and the detachable turret covers. The engine looks great too. All round fantastic job!!! (Mini art still terrifies me!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKrypton Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Where is that "Wow!" button when you need one? "Like" just doesn't do it Fabulous, just fabulous - the more I look, the more I see. Ed, your Austin armoured car turned out really well and the simple vignette base finishes it off nicely. The local hobby store has a few of these Mini-Art Austin kits on hand and ever since I finished the Master Box Wee Warrior 72nd scale Austin and having seen your build, I have been fussing over whether I should have a go at one in a larger scale. cheers, Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Excellent all round. The more you strip it back the better it gets. I reckon that must have been the first car with pop-up lights! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjbartos Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 @Stef N. Bravo Ed. A very well made and painted model that. Excellent display too. Thank you Stef, I really appreciate that, the model's amazing to do, I don't generally do bases, but enjoyed doing this one. I think it's something I must do more often. Now I'm looking forward to seeing your Sd. Kfz. 7/1 2cm Flakvierling finished, that looks amazing just as it is... all the best Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much Paul, much appreciated, Miniart are not that bad to do, they are fabulously detailed and such interesting models to do. If you have never done one before try a T60, they are a nice mix of interior and exterior and not that difficult to do... all the best Ed 33 minutes ago, ColonelKrypton said: Where is that "Wow!" button when you need one?

I would definitely get one of these models, you'll enjoy it. There are a couple of places in the build that is common to all of them where you may have a little difficulty, I have highlighted them in the build with work arounds if you ever need them.. all the best Ed 18 minutes ago, Trevor L said: Excellent all round.

You may very well be right with the lights.. all the best Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 That looks great Ed, a lovely build despite MiniArt's (over) attention to detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Robert, your comments are very much appreciated. I know that Miniart do put in a lot of detail into their models, that's probably what appeals to me the most. I love building them. all the best Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1966 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 That's turned out great Ed. The removable parts and the base make it even more special. The WIP has been very helpful and i will definately be referring to it when i build mine. What's on the bench next? George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 That's a superb model Ed. The detail, painting, weathering and the base. All of them first class. Great job all round. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you will find the WIP useful, the kit is really nice to make, you'll enjoy it. Next up, I think may be a Panzer IV, from Miniart, I have a couple of these so will probably do one of them. Just need to do some research and I'd like to add figures and do a little diorama maybe. Lots to think about.. all the best Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo rsv Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Lovely work Ed, I really like what you have done with this one. The base is a great addition as well. It may be a while before I get round to mine but yours is inspirational. Wayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
