GazzaS Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi Guys... Been working on this one for a while for a group build at Armorama: ...You start with a nice solid frame: And four differentials... Everything goes together sweetly. All axles are flexible... The engine ends here... Once the wheels are on, it's hard to do anything below and under the fenders... so I decided to paint here. I would come to wish I hadn't followed the kit's instructions to add the tools and storage to the fenders until later. Weathered the wheels and suspension with pigments. This thing's got too many bits to knock off! Dang-it! Forgot to make headset for the commander! Wouldja believe I still have to add eight valve stems and valve stem protectors. Thanks fer looking! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2019 Gazz, that’s looking great! Those AFV Klub kits are really decent. A bit fiddly, but oh so accurate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks Ern! They are a great kit. I have 2 other AFV club kits, and I think there will be more... eventually. Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Really nice build so far Gaz. There's something about these German 8 wheelers that's so cool. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You should try a 12-wheeler, like the M35 Mittlere Pzwg ADGZ-Steyr. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2019 I can see it now..... if I did one it's be leaning like a drunken sailor fresh out of the bar after 6 months at sea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[CAT]CplSlade Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I need to get a modern-tool 232. So far, the only ones I've built are the 1/48 Bandai when I was a kid, and the 1/35 Tamiya the second year I started modeling again. I have AFV's 263 so maybe I'll pick up this one as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no shortage of parts and detail here. The tough part is not knocking all of the detail off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's glazed up with oils, making it real hard to photograph. Maybe once it dries I can take some more in-progress pics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little bit too much lip gloss and spread to wide, seriously, does he receive a flat coat to reduce the shine? Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everything will get a flat coat... once I've finished the rest of the weathering. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
