Acadamy Warrior MCV 1/35

[beez]

This is the first time I've ever posted some thing like this, but some people have asked to see my build that i have posted on Facebook so fingers crossed here goes!
I don't know why I chose the Warrior but it looked cool so i thought this was gonna be a build of firsts for me, so I brought an after market barrel, fruilmodel tracks and black dog resin stowage! Build or Bust lol



I'd never build these tracks before so was a bit apprehensive before i started but once i got started i found it quite easy.
I dry built the kit completely


Next I primed it using Halfords primer, the tracks i used Mig Burnishing fluid


Painted stowage


Painted and weathered rest of kit


Next was final assembly!




The next thing is to build figures and I'm gonna have ago at my first scratch build vignette.................

Fantastic build! Looks like the stowage was definitely worth putting on.

Awesome build! I've been wanting a warrior for a while now, yours could just push me over the edge! Looks fantastic!

[Noobmodeler521]

Looks great like the stowage all around the tank gives it some character.

[Homerlovesbeer]

Very very nice! Wow

[PaulAyrey]

Thanks for the nice comments guys!
I've now built the figures.

Next step was to start on dio base! This is another first for me as I have never scratch built any thing like this before. I used foamboard, drinking straws and modelling clay.


While waiting for that to dry, I started painting figures, I tried putting details in the faces (another first for me)

Looking good Beez..... Been following the dio build progress on Facebook...
Figures are coming along nicely mate, the guy up front even has teeth detailing!!
Gonna look excellent when all complete.
Continued success bud...

[beez]

Thanks! I think the teeth detailing was more luck than judgement lol

Hahaha..... My entire builds are based purely on luck as opposed to skill!
Well done again mate, awesome stuff!...

[beez]

Had a good day today managed to get figures completed!

[beez]

Not been on here for a while, but time to update on build
Finally got base completed
First i primed it using Halfords primer



then i AB the light grey on wall and base and crater in flat earth using Tamiya paints, kerb stones in yellow and white vallejo model colour. Mig pigments where also used on crater



so here is the final reveal of the completed vignette









Hope you like it guys!

Outstanding work buddy, love it! Some really nice paintwork on those figures. My only suggestion would be to put some sand/dust on the barriers, just to blend them in with the road. Just my opinion of course, don't take that as if I'm a know it all! Lol!

Great work dude!

Looks awesome man. Where did you get the stowage set from? I have been thinking about getting this kit for some time now myself, and it looks awesome with the stowage. I would also be tempted to add some of it to my Op Telic Challenger 2 as well to tie the two kits together.

Awesome work all round!
