Very nicely done!
What did you do with your cammo pole holders? Leave them as is? Drill them out? One of the PE sets for the Warrior had rectangular bits of brass that they actaully wanted you to roll into tubes. I just used bits of large bore hypodermic needles. Still have two more in the stash. I hope they turn out half as well as yours.

Thanks for all your kind words people, it's great to get feedback good and bad.
The large viewers on the turret were just painted gloss blue/black mix then clear varnish then the lenses were picked out with Humbrol met blue and silver mix then clear varnish. They're OK at a distance but I still feel there is a better way just haven't worked it out yet. Camo poles were just kit supplied with tiny spots of black on the ends to represent hollowness (does that word exist?). Paint scheme was base coat Tamiya red/brown XF-64 followed with desert yellow XF-59 then highlighted with a lighter mix of desert yellow. Coat of Klear (which seemed to darken the whole thing considerably) then recesses picked out with heavily thinned artists oils, black /burnt sienna (possibly overdid this, but it's fun) and finally a little light chipping with Humbrol matt 66 green.

When I was building my Warrior, I was contemplating on building these vision blocks from plastic sheets but in my eagerness to finish the build, I forgot about it. With my next Warrior, I will probably get down to it. I think it will work combining it with clear plastic. It does give me a bad taste in the mouth seeing it solid as it is.

hollowness (does that word exist)



According to an ex-girlfriend of mine it does.
