Churchill AVRE Mk. lll

Bailey would be a great idea. I have Artitec's 1/87 version waiting for me to finish 7th Engineer (short) Battalion vehicles.

A Bailey would be a great base Scottie, I have a Bronco kit in the stash and was waiting for a suitable time to add an M4 High Speed Tractor pulling a 155mm gun across. Rivetors say there's some flaws in the kit but with all the brackets going all over and criss crossing I don't think anyone will notice. But if I know you, you'll be adding a nut, bolt or two.

Cheers,
Richard

Its gotta be a bridge for a base mate!! :smiling5: :smiling5: :thumb2:

Lovely detailing Paul, looking good in primer & pre-shade.

Pre-shade looks good. Now a gentle touch on the airbrush with the top coat.

Thanks guys the bridge will have to wait for another day. I am under orders from SWIMBO to attempt a base from a picture she has seen.

My supplies turned up from SMS today excellent service again. So it was time to give her a coat of khaki Green. Luckily I managed to retain some of the pre shade. When this had dried it received a coat of klear and the decals were applied. it has now been set aside for the next stage.

Looking great. As to a base, I would suggest crossing an anti tank ditch using a fascine would look great……..a Bailey is going to hide the side detail.

Mike, thanks fella means alot.

Details have been painted. Working on the assumption that this is a D Day vehicle there wont be much damage or wear so chipping was left to a minimum. An oil dot wash has been done but again at a minimum.

Next weathering. Comments welcomed.









cheers

Great work Scottie - just spent a while catching up with this thread.

Made me wonder how much testing a new vehicle would have had before being loaded up and pointed in the direction of the beaches of Normandy.....
