Hmmmm...I could never get excited about the Attacker, or the Swift.
Maybe you will help make a difference!

cheers,

This one is for our club's '80ies build'. No need for introduction. Almost OOB except for engine cover mesh and styrene sheets covering usual old Tamiya's gaping holes. I will try to replicate the vehicle without side skirts shown during 1981 Maneuvers Red Claymore ( http://military-database.de/1981-red-cl ... -free-lion ). However that depends on tracks, if I can fit them well enough to have proper sag etc. Next I will have to think how to make properly looking camo nets. So far, no fancy catastrophe had occurred but I am quite able to debilitate my build any time :). Tonight, just after black primer.

Hopefully we all will like the end result.

Thank You, I like the whole like of British Heavy Metal :), starting with Conqueror, they just look better than their contemporaries.
Camo on, now modulation and a need to smooth few place up.

Yes, I am glad to be part of this outfit. I guess they decided I was not dangerous enough :).

Some weathering (oil washes and local smearing, drybrushing with medium grey) already done, now on to another round of washes and more fun with colors. So far I love working with this old kit. It just calls you to finish it any way you want :). This was my first with making a camo net and ... more learning needed. I learnt the technique but chose wrong material :) ... what to expect, I am, after all a man. :)
