mireson Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hi all, Its been a while since Ive been on here, very busy with this and that, but Ive managed to get back to the modelling table and finish this little one (ha ha ) It is the accurate Armour chieftan conversion of the ARV version of the ol` Tamiya chieftan kit, very old but still very good. Along side is the Berlin Brigade Chiefy I did a while back, I think they make quite a nice pair!! as always all comments most welcome.

Shar2 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Fantastic build and weathering and, well, everything really. They're both amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deon Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 That looks so real! can't fault it, weathering is superb. I never saw an ARV even though i was on Cheiftains for a bit, but your model is utterly convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Very nice models. The Berlin one is much better than the one I did a few years ago for my dads mate who was a commander in Berlin. (he still liked it though) The accurate armour stuff is nice, but really expensive. I always wanted their Bridge layer Chiefy but never had the courage to spend the £300 on it!

Mick Modeller Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Where did all the pictures go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Where did all the pictures go? Have you moved them into a new folder or deleted them on Photobucket? If not you may have to go back into your account and re-link them. It's also possible that your photobucket account has gone into 'hibernation' if you havn't logged into it for a while. If you log back in it should restore the picture link. Hope this helps. Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
