It`s a Stag Do.

Just found this one Andy, will follow along, looks interesting with a modified Crusader turret on a US built armoured car.

[Allen Dewire]

I'm late in on this too Mr. Smiff,

A real fine job you're doing Andy and the figs are sweet too!!! They do look better in the second setting. Bring it on Bro!!!

I hope all is well in Downtown Devon and don't let the work make you crazy.........

Prost

Thanks Jakko,i prefer the radio guy at the back too actually,good idea with the Bino`s too mate,that`ll fit the part nicely i reckon :thumb2: ,
Karl,Cheers Bud,the figures are some of my favourites! Nope,no actual "Turret Basket" on this one,there are,however,2 large bins that go either side of the Turret,but bolted to the lower hull.
Graeme,Lovely to see you again Sir! Thank you,it is a curious mix eh?!!:hugging-face:,
Andy

The turret basket is the bottom half of the rotating turret, the bit inside the hull, hard to close up hatches when you've painted it all.
Looking at the details on the rear fenders I wonder if they're are fuel tanks in those bins inplace of the drums strapped to the Mk1

Coming along nicely Mr Smith sir

Good luck with it.

[Steve Jones]

Nice update sir! The figures look the DB's. Great to see

[The Smythe Meister]

A bit of an update to follow.......
....... Andrew,good to see you too moo mate!We`re all good thanks,This is a new ball game to me as well,it does seem pretty big to be an "armoured Car":dizzy:,still,it`s a cracking kit mind!!Steve,Thanks Buddy,great to see you`re still around and about:thumb2:.
...... and now to bring things up to date,ALL Plastic parts are more or less where they should be!! And them there pesky etch parts have been right royally mangled into various shapes........ thus.........


Then i got a bit excited an put the Turret on......and proceeded to splurge primer all over the joint.........


and this one was just for Karl,(See the Stowage bin,just balanced in place for now),the rather ugly bins for this Mk,one to each side..........
,
So,we should be moving apace now,primer time done,so its on with base Greens,Stowage,effects,weathering....... WAHEYYYYY..........The whole piggin lot!!
Thanks for looking in!!
Andy

[The Smythe Meister]

A`noon Guys,
Some progress has been achieved,as usual it ain`t an awful lot........ but,well........ i am from Devon!! :thumb2:
This now is GREEN!! Some who know me won`t be overly surprised by that...... in this case tho`,it looks a little "Shiny",(There is a reason for that mind!!) A bit picture heavy,but that`s mainly for the details to be seen.....


For the sharpshooters amongst you out there,you MAY of spotted that i sneaked the wheels on too!!


Well,the pics don`t show it too well,but it`s coming along fine in reality,a nice model,(Cheap and easy too if you can find one!!),
Next time i hope the update will be a little less stressed as the whole thing settles down to what i have in mind!!
Thanks for looking in Guys,till next time,
Cheers,
Andy

Hey Andy
Looking very good so far.
Y'know, looking at that shiny green finish, I go 'post war'.
Were there staghounds still in service at the time of Korea?
Just a thought...

[JR]

Apologies for turning up late Mr Smith, being doing other things 1/1 rather knackered but here .
Looks good , nice clean build , love the figures you've picked .

[Si Benson]

Coming along nice Andy :thumb2:

I was thinking much the same, that green looks post-war. The Mk. III version only came into use in 1945, so I suppose they wouldn’t immediately have been got rid of after the war by the British Army, but they were supplied to Denmark and Lebanon too.

[Steve Jones]

Lovely green effect. Nice to see you still plugging away with this one. Decided on the decals yet??

[Graeme C.]

Looking good Andy, if a bit green! Are you going for a 'Parade Ground' finish?
