Yeah, yeah i know............WTF is this idiot doing running loose in the armour section!! I think i need to reset me site Satnav............took a wrong turn from the civvy section and ended up in here Truth is...........i need a change, my passion is the cars and i have a coupla car projects i wanna do next year..........but....i don`t wanna burn meself out on the same genre, the Project `X` and the Monte Carlo build have been put on hold for a few weeks as i was starting to get a bit mojoless with them and the last few builds have been quite intense with all the modifications,Decals, scratching etc,etc(for me that is anyway ......).........so i decide to break up the monotony with an armour build.............i will be doing some more armour in the form of another T55 and maybe a Buffalo, also i fancy that glorious D9 by Meng.......... Anyway nuff said........here`s the proof that `Boots` does still do armour. I made a start on this some time ago but it got side-lined, the original thread i can`t find so i`ve started a fresh one............the old thread consisted of just the chassis build but as you can see the past few days i`ve done a fair bit more, the kit came with the Voyager PE up-grade set which consists of about 8 ferkin` frets of PE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................to be honest, some i`ve used (the big bits!! and some i havn`t (the small bits!!!! )...... Here we have the chass primed, undercoated and basecoated..........also the chass has had some weathering and such like started!! This pic shows the dash and door attached..............both doors will have their upper sections folded down so the one this side is only Blue-Tac`d on at the mo.. The next few pics are of the weathering stage on the tracks, chass and front wheels................still got the other side to do yet... It`s like going back to ferkin` school..............can`t remember a thing about painting sequences on armour!!!, reckon it`ll come to me tho!! Thanks all

Oh God have mercy on us! Rob building a plane, Bill doing a ship, now you doing an armor. Something is wrong here but I am LOVING it! Count me in of course... I love armors!
Is that Dragon kit? I think I have same kit but what kit # you are building? Great start especially your PE work and tracks look pretty good too!

Wow Boots nice to see you back on an armour proj and what a start.This is looking very nice.Have you converted the tracks to be set in a wider location than normal or are they just temporary in that location.

Prof.........don`t say that, i`ll end up doing that by mistake ...........it`s bad enough being up at this height of the Forum and so far from home without you adding confusion of colours into the mix .......... Andy, cheers mucka and yeah it has come as a bit of a shock , ferk knows what i`m doing.............just winging it i reckon!! , the tracks are just sat alongside mate in the above pics `T`............i thought ya might like this , as for me...........i`m still testin` the waters bro , as for that `ol Shermie...........i reckon that`ll be a re-do at some point (coz i forgot what i was doing now and also the colour mix is missing from the `ol grey matter ) Cheers fellas

Ok doke..........a bit more weathering and abuse underway, i want a sort of `i`ve been everywhere` look to it ............and i also want the practice Both sides and the exhaust done now plus tracks, might stick another bit of wash here and there but i don`t think it really needs it (IMHO ) Sorry about the odd bits of pigment stuck here and there............i need to give it a blast with the AB to get rid of them darn stray particles!! Need to tone this one down a bit more yet.... And the `zawst so far.. Cheers fellas.........
