    French Armoured Carrier with scenic base (completed)

    Constructive Criticism Welcome !!!

    Well, finally got to finish this off. It has been a pleasure to work on but I really need to get better organised doing these builds, taken much longer than I thought for a kit so small.

    Apart from Citadel Gunmetal, all paint Tamiya. Weathering has been mainly Promodellers wash including the 'Light Dirt' which is how the light dusty look has been done on the boxes and oil drums. A little bit of drybrushing was done using Tamiya Weathering Master sets but to be honest, most of that got covered by the wash.

    Anyway, full details are in the build thread Here (Tamiya 1:35 French Armoured Carrier). This is truly Out Of the Box apart from a bit of Tamiya masking tape for the rifle slings. It is so OOB that I have even tried to re-create the box art lol.

    Sorry not to use the thumbnails, I just cannot get them in the right order first time and as the edit post does not work, I will stick to the old way for this one.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Graham, you have surpassed yourself.
    This is very, very good indeed. Spot on in everyway, the painting of the figures is !st. class and what a cute bit of armour!

    A very interesting build and a simple but effective diorama.

    The BIG 5 from me bud, and no mistake.
    AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, I TOOK A TURN FOR THE NURSE!
