Bronco Comet plus bits....

[Guest]

Quick update,
Have been finalising the details and have made up a base which is drying at the moment before adding ground work etc.
The crew I have waited for arrived but will not fit in the hatches :confounded:, so I am now looking through my figure spares for alternatives.
The next update will be to tell you it is in the completed section in about a week.
Many thanks for looking and your support.
Mike.

Update,
I was going to put these on the figure section, but as they relate to this build, here they are....

Still a bit of work to do on them as they only arrived today - the original crew are in the spares box as no matter how I tried they would not fit in the turret.
Cheers,
Mike.

It really doesn’t get much better than this Mike- super details, and now figgies too? Can’t wait to see what you do with them... :nerd:

Hi Mike
I look at your work and the work of people like Steve, Alistair, Artyom and others and I'm truly gobsmacked! Not sure whether I'm inspired or depressed :tongue-out3: In truth I find following work of such a very hgh standard ups my determination and mojo.
Figures look nice and very appropriate.

Jim,
Many thanks for the comments, but there are modellers on this forum, not just armour, that can walk circles around me, and I look at their work and have the same reaction, I think the word is inspired.

Really nice work on the netting and scratched knapsacks. I really admire builders of scratched stowage. Figures are looking good too, Mike.

Cheers,
Richard

Update,
The build as such is finished, paint is done, weathering is weathered.
Had a bit of a fight fitting the tracks, As I said they go together in no time, but the front track guard has a chamferred inside and the tracks will go past but you will neet to bend it outwards to allow for this, next time I will scratch build one. Also the drive sprocket teeth do not match the holes in the track, not a problem, just cut off the teeth that will not be seen - job sorted.
Would I build another Bronco Comet, unless a better version comes my way, then yes I would and include the track links as well.
So the build is finished, now I am going to concentrate on adding stowage (undecided), cam net and of course a brew kit etc, and then a final matt coat of varnish to seal the job. The crew are on their way from China, rowing I think, and the base is in design. So here are a couple of pics, and once finished the final pics will be in the completed section.
Many thanks for all the comments and for sticking with it. I will let you know when it is in the completed section.
Cheers,
Mike.

Awesome build Mike! If I may ask, which varnish coat did you use to finish this off?
