Hey all,

This is my first finished model in well over two years. These LAVs are a lot more work than they originally look to be! In preparation for taking it to the local model club, I took some pics. It is amazing what the camera shows you that you don't notice while it is on the table in front of you. I think the barrel is slightly warped, missed some dust/dirt up underneath the turret, and could use more on the lower hull. Didn't even think to add the non-slip surface. Grrr... Some of these, I can fix, the rest will have to wait for the next build.

Looks good Quentin,
How about some more shots?Yes they are more work and more the Canadian versions.

Tom

Thanks, Tom. I added a few more pics. The more I look, the more I see that I need to change. I should also clarify that I knew from the get-go that this isn't a deployed LAV..

Looking forward to my next LAV build; friend of mine is going to supply some pics of the LAV he commanded in theatre. Luckily for me it isn't a LORIT He had red teeth hanging from the front. He also had a blow up sheep (yes, from a naughty store, lol) that travelled with him everywhere...even on the side of the turret in combat. How on earth do I model a blow up sheep?!!?

Cool build

Is it the Trumpeter kit OOB??

I agree that a bit more weathering would be nice especially on the lower hull, but besides that you did a very good job.

What did you use for the green colour??

Thank you for sharing
Ole

Yo Q, looks good.

Looks really good, and welcome to the forum!



cheers

Nice work Mr, looks llike a nice model, here's to the next one

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Ole, it's the Trumpeter kit, OOB. I used Valejo Air Field Green for the paint.

BTW: Mrtaylor2 = Qtaylor. It'd been awhile since I'd been on the site, and had IE7 and memory problems :/

LOL, will this one end up at the school as well?
