Tamiya 1/35 Challenger I mk3

[Steve Brodie]

This is my first completed model in over 10 years, just getting back into things after the children brought me this model for Christmas 2013, took till August to complete it. Very happy with how it turned out considering first time using filters and pigments and creating my own camo net and tarp covers;

Great stuff Steve! The exhaust staining & chipping are superb. A really excellent build & good to see some modern armour.

Hi Steve

The Challenger looks great, excellent detail, lovely weathering. You should, justifiably, be very proud of that.

I do hope you stick with the hobby and look forward to more projects from you in the future.

Cheers

Paul

Wow 10 years away from the hobby has'nt hurt your skills that looks awesome! Welcome to the forum!

 

[Steve Brodie]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, especially seeing the great work by everyone else here, I feel quite humbled (if that's the right phrase). Will be sticking with the hobby, currently got an Academy Warrior (2003) on the bench and for Christmas (already purchased ) a Meng Bradley with full interior, the rate I build stuff these days, what with my day job and also photography, should take me a full year to complete.
