FV432 & LEOPARD

Work has now restarted in earnest on the 432 project with the base ready for weathering and some grass after adding a couple of mud patches just to break up the vast expanse of concrete. I also had a little test of the figure in position and I'm happy with the pose and location. I'll also begin the final weathering of the model this weekend.


The leopard turret, wheels and other assorted parts have also been primed. I'm very happy how the turret came out after the sanding & adding mr surfacer. It looks much better and more like the real thing now. Still waiting on the tow ropes for the hull so will have to wait to prime that. Although I can get on with the tracks and use some VMS blackening solution on them.

    Hi Marc, I use badger stynylrez primer and have done for ages now. It's never failed my ham fisted airbrushing! It's self leveling so always goes down well.
