This is the little gem that I will be building (thanks Tim) it will be completely out of the box as it will be my first piece of armour so just going to put it in on a verlinden base, I will be making a little mod to the base as its not quite what I wanted but time was a factor





Happy modelling

It's begun lol having never built armour before thought I would stick to the instructions and start with the wheels what a boring job lost the will to live half way through but soldiered on and got them done ready for paint and then the on to the tiger got most of the big assembly done and dry fitted will glue it all down today and hopefully finish building it by tonight





Not a lot to shout about but I'm stoked to get this far with only a few hours hanging with the lads
Till next time happy modelling

You are kicking the backside of this one Dan! What color are using for your base tone?

[Kingdan]

Stynlrez yellow primer is all that's on at the min les going to lighten it up a bit for fading only a bit though

Well I've almost finished the base just needs a flat coat on the bits and bobs and a bit of Dried out Ultimate sand for the last bit of dust, I've found Ultimate washes dried out make very convincing sand and dust. I have modified the base slightly from the original just because I like it better













And a rough pose


Still a bit to do on the tiger but it's not far off now

Thanks for following happy modelling
