Amusing Hobby 1/35 FV-214 Conqueror MK2 - my style

[Madhatter]

hey guys

I just finished the final touches on my latest build - the AM Conq, but in my own design camo.

Inspired by some of the Azure Lane tanks from either WarThunder or World Of Tanks - I can't remember which one it was, but regardless, its a scheme without a half naked school girl plastered over the front. Painted in my favourite colour combo - NATO Black and red, the striping and pattern are all my own. I am really happy with how it came out. I opted again not to go to town on the weathering as I really like the clean but used look rather than ready for the scrap heap look.

I wanted the stripes to reflect the sci-fi aspect this tank has naturally. Of all the British tanks to have come out in that period, this was by far the best looking. Who cares if it was effective or not - it just looks super cool and I wanted a scheme that mirrored that aesthetic.

Enough blabbing, time for the pics:





















Well, that's it for now, but I really enjoyed this build. The whole kit was easy to put together despite the instructions being a little vague in places. I had a little chuckle to myself when I saw all 4 scheme options for it: Green, Green, Green or... Green. The options were a little over whelming for me....
As always, thanks for stopping by and having a look
See you soon

I believe that's what the kids call a "thicc boi"... 

It looks great - well done. Stripes suit a lot of tanks: it's a shame there aren't more real-world reasons to use them.

Terrific build

The Conquerer is one BIG ' Ole  Tank for sure. There's one parked on the gate of a supply depot a few miles north of my house.

Beautiful paint job. I love the light wear on the paint.

Thanks guys    To date, this has been my best tank build yet  but to be fair, I've only built 5 tanks in total, so not much of a benchmark really.
The Conq is certainly an impressive machine, but man, it must have been so loud when driving thanks to the metal wheels.
