AS-90 done at last

FINALLY finished my first armour build. The Bronco tracks added about a month. 85 odd links a side , thats about 340 rubber blocks to be chipped/ gouged [|-)] Threw lots of stuff at this as a learning experience using washes and pigments. Includes PE, metal barrel, resin tarps, little lenses, replacement tow cable. More photos online (click any pic to go there). Any advice on how to improve it welcome.

It looks great[Y]. I wish my finishing skills were as good as yours…cheers…Kenny

Very nice!

I’m no armor guy, but that looks excellent!!

[Y][Y] For a first armor build

It may have been a lot of extra work but I’d say from the looks of your model it was well worth it. I love the black and green camo on British vehicles and that looks wonderful. Great work.

Good work…:slight_smile:

Thanks for the kind comments :slight_smile:

After seeing your Lightning and now this, I am even more baffled by your username[:D]

Awesome work!!

Well i am a sort of beginner, this is only my 6th model… This time round.

I build a shed load from about 9 to 13.

I vaguely remember hand painting 1/32 phantoms, me109s and mustangs. I also remember spraying a liberator electric blue with a rattle can…hideous.

It looks like you’ve got everything own pretty pat, if this is only your 6th model!

This is really nice—nice detailing, paint, weathering and finish overall! I picked up on the spring around the travel lock; the extra light guard detailing, the “splatter” dirt on the lower parts, and pigment work—nice!!

Good very good .

This is really your first armour build. Your off to a great start. Having seen plenty of the real thing close up, i’d say you have nailed it.

Great work there TL, love the camo and the mud looks great! Between her and your Lightning you are on a roll sir!

Wow thanks excellent work, well done, I can’t believe it’s your first armour piece. Terry

Talented is that the Accurate Armour Model inn resin? I have pictures of one of those on the rail heading for BATUS Alberta Canada. Very nice!

Mechtech - no, its just the trumpeter kit dolled up a bit. Its actually a nice kit in its own right and needed very little fetling or filler.

I did read somewhere that for this release of the kit trumpeter just copied accurate armours previous resin upgrades, a bit naughty IF true.
