Renault UE armoured carrier

[Lee W]

Over this last month I've done a build thread (I don't know how to add the thread?!), my first attempt at doing one, I might do another... who knows?!
I had my issues, tracks mainly, they are small! A couple of fit issues, they were sorted, all in all not a bad kit, if you have sausage fingers like me, you might want to get a child to build it for you! Lol



Thanks for looking in

[Ian M]

That is wonderful.
Do they get much smaller than that? (In the same scale).

(Nice slimy clay soil. One day someone will be growing grapes in that)!

Very nice, Lee. Especially like the mud, really effective.

Thanks Ian, they probably do get smaller in 35th scale but I don't want to find out, I'm still trying to get my eyes back to normal focus!

John, thank you, the mud was made up of Atelier moulding paste, painted with Vallejo 880 khaki grey then washed with burnt umber and small amount of black wash, again its Vallejo Game Wash 201.
Other than minor issues mentioned above, I would recommend this kit.

That’s come out really nicely Lee. Very effectively displayed as well. As to size, they are roughly equivalent in size to a Bren carrier I think, so you could always do one of those as a comparison piece

Great result Lee.
Excellent 'Squelch'!

Thanks Tim, I do have a U/C in the stash, thankfully those tracks are rubber band type rather than miniscule link and length!
The U/C can wait for my eyes to catch up, next up... Tamiyas 1 35 Sd Kfz 7/2 with british figures, stay tuned!

Great result Lee.

Thanks Ron, the added 'Squelch' comes from PVA, killing 2 birds with one stone, the muddy look and to aid adhesion of neccessaries to the base.
I'm off for a lay down, 2 big words in that sentence! Lol
