Global Scale Modeller

Hey guys,

Here is my second completed build - a British Challenger 1 from the First Gulf War. Challengers are credited with destroying 300+ Iraqi tanks. Very lethal and very cool looking beasts. Hope you like it. I used a bunch of AK Interactive weathering enamels/pigments and 502 Abteilung oil paints and shamelessly stole techniques from Mig Jimenez and Adam Wilder. I really like the fuel and oil/grease enamels - they create very cool looking effects.

It's 99% completed - just a few bits and pieces here and there need completed (shovel, water cans, etc.). I might also get some stowage/ration boxes/make some wrapped up tarps.

My build was based on pics of Challengers from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.

















Thanks for looking and take care everyone :-D

Very nice chally dude.

wow that is fantastic. I really like the Challengers both 1 & 2. I have a Tamiya Challenger 2 Desertised that I hope to build in the not to distant future I hope I can pull of something as good as yours. What paint did you use for the overall scheme and do you know if its the same as used on the Chally 2 in Iraq.

Stunning work mate! I really like what you've done with it, looks superb!

Superb finish. Great looking tank!

That is a BEAUTY!!

Guys - thank you all for the unbelievably kind words and words of encouragement!

My older sister gave birth to beautiful twins on Sunday, so life has been pretty hectic. I have been trying to help her out as much as I can so I have had very little free time to be on the forum between helping her and the rest of the craziness of life lol

Thank you guys!!!

Love the staining, nice.

Lovely build mate, I agree the fuel, oil and grease stains really set it off
