Hi Everyone,
My first post here on Armorama, so here goes.
Started this project a few weeks ago and I've enjoyed every aspect of the build, It's the Academy Warrior with a few bits n pieces from Accurate Armour. Still a while yet until she's finished.















Regards

Dan

Very nicely weathered. I like the slight chipping and the fuel stain.

You may be new to this site. But I don't think your new to modelling.
I have to agree withPaul.
Very well done and welcome.

Thanks guy's, I've been practicing for a while to be honest.

Some uptodate shots, just finished the waterstaining of the paintwork, looks about right and I think i'll keep the weathering fairley light.

Enjoy the pix

Are you going to put the skirts on? If not then you could fill in the mounting spots that have been cut out of the hull.

Hi Paul,
They are all ready to go fella, just waiting to paint up the tracks and they will added. Its just easier to add them after the tracks go on. I've just primed the kit tracks with Vallejo track primer, next up is pigments/detail painting and they'll be ready for fitting.

Hey Dan

Nice work on that MCV-80! I really like the camo and weathering so far. Not to much just enough and you can clearly see that works fine. How did you make the camo netting that looks realistic.

Great job! keep it up
