NIK122 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Good evening. So here is my latest finished build. Tamiya's Cromwell with the Accurate Armour conversion set to make a Cromwell ARV mk1. Stowage from Bronco Models, figure from Master Box, helmets and spare wheels from Ultra Cast. I highly recommend this conversion set to anyone with some experience and a little patience. Building models with superglue isn't for everyone so be aware! That being said the tow cable wrapped around the main hatches was an absolute pig and in hindsight I would of tried to find a way to make one from a more malleable and forgiving material than the one provided with the set! Painting figures 'really' isn't my thing and I got through three of the heads provided in the set until I was happy. Conclusion, eyes that just require a wash will be the way forward for me as painting whites and pupils resulted in..........well what can I say🤪. Thank you to everyone who followed my thread and I look forward to sharing what's next on the bench. Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Excellent work, it's been a pleasure to follow your WIP build. If you listen carefully I think you can hear the zing of the bullet which is making the squadie flinch...! Looking forward to your next project. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo1966 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 What a result! Really well done Nik! I think the base, ARV and the soldier all look top notch! George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 As Richard said, it's been a pleasure to follow your WIP. The vehicle itself has turned out really well. I like everything about it, and the beach, with the shredded seaweed is simple but very effective. And finally, the squadie is first class, (now that he's got his dentures in). Great work. John. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got quite a selection to choose from, Russian, French, British, German, sci-fi....... Take your pick, or maybe an on line poll here!?!? 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoxx77 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 This looks so awesome! The attention to detail and the "used" finish on this model is some of the best i've seen. 🫡 i salute you sir on an excellent build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
