Tomcat's Desert Rat - Bronco 1/35 Humber Mk II

Post by Tomcat64 »

Taking this one right to the wire but here are the reveal photos for my Bronco 1/35 Humber Armoured Car Mk II and desert diorama base.

This wasn't a kit for the faint hearted as it includes a full interior, suspension and engine and is incredibly fiddly in places - this isn't helped by the random errors included in the instructions to trip up the unwary. The full trials & tribulations of the build are here for those that would like to take a look.

Onto the photos - a quick walkaround of the finished item

This also ticked another one off my list of my early Matchbox 1/76 kits rebuilt in 1/35

And a final couple of full shots

Thanks again to everyone that came along for the build and offered support & encouragement throughout - it was very much appreciated :cheers2:
Cheers, Neil

Cracking result. The car is excellent but the setting of the base and the figures really seals the deal.

Bravo Sir, bravo! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Agree with both above. After long trials and tribulations I think you've produced a superb result :bow:: :bow::

Stokesy said it well, but I'd like to add I enjoyed the subtlety employed in the weathering process. Really nailed the base too.
