Impeccable paintjob, to boot!

What a beauty ! Great idea and great job so far.

Thanks again folks.. for some reason I am making great headway on this

This is where we are at, with the bits and bobs taped/blutacked/sitting on the model.. things are not straight yet.. so dont panic on the wonky guns

I am experimenting with trying to use Kristal Kleer mixed with Clear Red paint to try and get the vision blocks looking..rightish..
Hence the blobby apperance.. dont worry it will be cleaned up.

Next is fitting the Bar Armour Supports and getting that on

Looks fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more!

Gorgeous cammo and a really wicked concept!

One small observation if I may? It's not clear, but it looks as though a missile from that pop-up launcher in the bustle would hit the TI turret in front of it. Maybe it need a bit of elevation too?

Thanks again for the great support. This has been a fun project and happy with the way it turned out.. even the bar armour came out better than I expected.
Finally it is just about done.. popped a couple of joins on the bar armour, but nothing too drastic, prolly solder them all together now I know it fits.
So this is what if finally looks like, with all the bits and bobs and dozer blade

Thanks Weaver, Dead on.. in fact I had to make the popup launcher a bit bigger to get around the sensor array, just shows how great ideas sometimes need a bit of modification to work

Went together surprisingly quickly really, just got a run on with it and using acrylic paints means you can paint and mask quicker.
Have to sort out my next project I suppose

Cheers

WOW!!!!!!!!!

That is just fabulous Brian, it really is! I could do with a couple of those in my 1/72nd scale fleet

I can't wait to see what you come up with next,

Chris.

What a beauty!

The paint job is excellent & the bar armour is work of art, wouldn't have thought to solder it.

Fantastic!

Very NICE!! This camo looks really good. And the weathering is top notch.
